OH ME, OH MY.

This downsizing thing really sucks.  There’s just so much stuff.  But, more importantly, what will we do with IT?  And there’s a whole bunch of IT. Where, oh where, will IT all go? 

Well, let’s be clear:  IT’s not going anywhere.  We may sacrifice the ordinary, perhaps even useful, things like tables, chairs, beds, desks but not one piece of IT is going anywhere.  Ever. IT, of course, is our art.

A person can’t just walk out and say goodbye to the Artfuls, the Jeans, the Colleens.  To say nothing of the Deeannes, the Sheilas, or the Mary Ways.  Then, there are the EJ,s, the Pams, the Lynnes, the Janes, the Ted and the Ashley.  Could we ever, ever say goodbye to all those people?  Those artists.  Those deliciously creative individuals who have filled our walls and our hearts.  I think not.

Those artists are friends who just happen to inhabit our house.  To say nothing of our souls. The art they’ve produced, and we’ve been lucky enough to have, doesn’t just “hang” here.  Each one evokes memories of happiness. occasional grief, friendship and love.  Leave a single one behind?  In whose world?
