clarity of purpose

though i know that it can be instantaneous it is often a long process to surrender the old into completeness – especially when it comes to things of the physical world – those favourite pair of shoes and that old sweater and of course that brand new pair of pants that i bought and still wait for them to someday fit – then there are all those books and magazines and papers that i think i really should keep to re-read some obscure paragraph that is by now lost in time and space – and  what of all the emotional incompletions that i tucked away and after years are still triggered by a few bars of music or a sweet summer smell … is there room for the new to flow in when my energy and attention are focused on what was instead of what could be … if i clean and clear away that which no longer serves me then the clarity of my purpose will shine forth and draw me into what is next and the things that we could do together 

. . .  

the best always
