Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today? JOE: Less burdened by possessions. CALLIOPE: How so? JOE: I recycled bags and bags of old papers and am packing up boxes of old books. CALLIOPE: Where did they all come from? JOE: My years as a psychologist. I had file after file of information which might come in useful sometime but seldom did. I also have a collection of early psychology books documenting the past hundred years or so in my field. CALLIOPE: Do you think you might use them sometime? JOE: Hard to say but these days many old books are available online if I should need to consult them. So far they have mainly taken up space. CALLIOPE: How do you feel with a leaner collection of possessions? JOE: Leaner. It feels like I have been dragging things around for years which clutter my space. I'm glad to have more room. My mind has more space too. CALLIOPE: What's on your agenda today? JOE: More sorting and packing. I think I am ready to get back to work on publicity for The Pastor's Inferno and plan to work on my video "Are You Afraid of This Book" with the equipment I have available rather than waiting any longer to get my video camera back in operation. CALLIOPE: You can always update it in the future if you aren't happy with it. JOE: My thoughts exactly. Time for work. Talk with you tomorrow. |
