Poetry – Sherlock Said

Sherlock once told me,

"One should keep the furniture 
put away in the library
if they wish to hasten enlightenment,
or satisfy an extreme love
of solitude."

    • We have a library, but unfortunately it is rather small and is stuffed not only with bookshelves, but our treadmill, boxes of junk and extra stuff we can’t fit anywhere else, etc. I wish it was nicer and neater.

      • It seems like every time I clean an area or organize stuff it just gets moved somewhere else. I always ask myself if I need everything I have and I say no but what if I need it in the future.

      • About 2 years ago maybe a little less, I thought I was moving. I had just lost my husband and my son was going off to college. Well, July 2019 I lost my son. I am still here in my house. I had packed and then unpacked one of the Pack-Rat containers, had an estate guy give all my husbands tools and yard equipment away at below tag sale prices, and have sold a ton myself on Facebook. Now, I go to look for something and I remember I sold it, gave it away or it disappeared with the estate guy. Most stuff who cares but there are a few things missing….my wedding dress…that one made me cry. I remember wondering if I should keep it or not and then I heard about different organizations you can donate them to and they make beautiful keepsakes…well mine is gone. Anyhow, the point is, I’m not throwing everything away this time. I will just pack it more efficiently!

  5. Maranda, almost all my books and photos have been given away due to our allergies, but there will always be a place in my heart for public libraries. ❤ I like the idea of being in a place where you are surrounded by knowledge and everyone must be quiet! 🙂 Have a great weekend!

  6. After I took apart some old photo albums to send photos away to be digitized, I became sensitized to the mold that grows on old paper. Old books often have darkened pages. Old photos often get a film. I had already had three years of allergy shots and am allergic to two common soil molds, among other things. I can’t garden anymore either. All of this happened after age 65, so I have had a full life. No regrets!

    Have a great week! ❤
