When I was in grade school. A long long time ago.
We were told to clean our desks at different vacation times.
Like Christmas,Thanksgiving, Easter. My desk was stuffed
with papers, spelling lists,workbooks, and junk of all sorts.
No one tells me to clean my desk anymore. Except this
tiny list I write to myself daily. –Clean off the desk-
I might write this ten or fifteen days in a row.
I even circle it or underline it on my list before I actually do it.
I’ll send this picture around to a few of my kids to show them
how clean the desk is. Because they have seen it when it is
full up with unopened junk mail, magazines, tiny objects
I have found that I am not yet ready to part with.
Stacks of books to be returned to the library-you know daily stuff.
But today, for whatever reason… -Clean off the desk-
.
