2 Drawers

i have a ghost that lives inside my desk.

nay, surely not a ghost, you say. but it is true.

i have two drawers to the right of my chair. i am looking at them now, even as i type. and those drawers will gently slide open at random times throughout the day. it's really quite strange. one will slide open, i will close it, and then the other will slide open. i haven't figured out a way to keep them closed.

sometimes, in a moment of insanity (which i firmly believe we all have), i will try and reason with the ghost by opening and closing them both at the same time seven times. why seven? you say, b/c seven is a significant number. not only biblically, but within the spiritual world as a whole. though i don't quite know why, i know that you somehow feel that this is true.

i tried putting something heavy within the drawers in an effort to weigh them down, but to no avail. if anyone has any suggestions on how to exorcise this ghost out of my desk, and possibly out of the building, (i certainly don't want it invading my computer) feel free to comment.

i must go now, i have to open and close the drawers seven times.

Booth would simply do away with the desk since it caused so many problems only to replace it with a filling cabinet espousing that it performed the same function as the desk.

i think booth would take the heavy things--those that the desk rejected as a means of keeping its drawers closed--and separate himself from the established desk completely. do all your work from the heavy things now.

I am on a journey, searching for God and what that means in my daily life. It's not about constraints, it's not about limitations, but freedom. I know something exists beyond the visible. I live thinking about possibilities and what could be and the necessary steps to make things happen. I like long talks with a good friend, drinking tea, eating breakfast with my husband, going to a bookstore (they are the new libraries), cool mornings, windy days in the fall, learning about love and life from those who seem to have found their way, teenagers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, long baths, and connecting with another heart. I am learning how to love, how to live, when to speak and when not to, when it's time to gather the stones, when it's time to let go, surrender, forgiveness, and discipline.
