I leave much to much uncategorized and un-filed. That's a bit of a problem. Often, the whole house is torn apart when I need to retrieve something.

The real name and not an invented one, window glimpses as from a fast car. What dreams remind me is that we don't even KNOW what is stored there or what it means, what it represents. Good thing that sort of mental housekeeping is not an option; I'd probably throw away the good stuff. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-32052185781938082502011-06-02T19:03:20.097-07:002011-06-02T19:03:20.097-07:00This post was fun to read.

Y...Terrific beginning to a short story--very funny. Your mind, or any of our minds, have developed and will develop again any kind of storage that works. I too long for those lovely oak library card catalogs, but alas they've all gone to the dumpster. So, at least my mind, is full of old shoe boxes, with dried up and snapped rubber bands laughingly holding them together; pockets of old coats; the back of the beyond in my junque drawer--it is frustrating that we can't retrieve on command, but we are not cocker spaniels, Marylinn, dear. We should just be very grateful that things will pop out of the ice-tray, the tool box, under the last clean towel on the shelf. Many interesting things are tucked away for a rainy day, but alas, the weather comes and goes and we have no idea what's up there. We just have to trust that something will drop down for retrieval--even if it can't be used for anything, perhaps it can be thrown away. It's like Fibber McGee's closet, M. It would all fall out and concuss you if you could get the bloody door open. Patience is all, my dear. xoMelissa Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270919534011711225noreply@blogger.com
