The first full day of Spring brought some sunshine ahead of the next nor'easter -- set to appear overnight and through the day tomorrow. While doing some walking to meetings, I began to attempt to put some thoughts together from the past week or so. Little things that flit through the mind but don't stop to let you really look at them. I've wondered where these thoughts hang out. When trying to get a good look at them, they find somewhere to hide. I know there are feelings hidden away somewhere that will emerge -- likely at some inopportune moment rather when I'm searching for them. I've often thought of these hidden inside an ancient treasure chest -- the type pirates found in all the old shows. The chest has a rounded top, metal strapping to reinforce the wooden slats and a huge big lock or locks on the front. When trying to hunt up some of these feelings today, the box seemed to be out of view, too. Perhaps the hidden nature of these items is part of self-preservation. There is little time or energy -- mental, physical or emotional -- at this time of end of term. Too many other responsibilities outside myself demand my unwavering attention. I hope that the little tidbits of thoughts and feelings do come out to play once there is more time and energy. Ignoring them is not an answer <smile>. Despite their hiding, they will need to be unearthed at some point.
Parts of many song lyrics also flitted through my mind while working away today. I've settled on one that addresses the fleeting thoughts that are hidden away -- though the metaphor of travelling thoughts in both lyrics and video is truly freeing. Enjoy!
