Lift from the Knees

Not that it matters to anyone else, but to God and me it’s now down to the wire. Tonight I’ll spend my first night in my new house. My bed won’t actually be there until tomorrow, so tonight it’ll sort of be like camping in a really big, really nice cabin with central heating and air. So not roughing it, but not decadent either.

God and I haven’t gotten to talk all that much this last week. She’ll say something and I’ll sort of grunt in response as I hoist another box and carry it out to the car. When I think about it, right about now I could really use some decadence. God says moving my own stuff helps build character. I think that means, helps me to see that I not only should let a lot of this stuff go, but I actually could.

There’s nothing quite like packing all of your stuff into boxes and hauling it around to help you develop a healthy sense of detachment from material things.

Or make you cling to it all that much more. Hmm, I guess I’ve still got a ways to go. Maybe I should practice chanting while moving boxes.
