Clean Underwear
The ease of the trip is often determined by the quality of
the packing. When I am entirely ready
travel is easier. I wash the laundry
early to give myself a head start. Lay
everything out and walk through each day’s needs; roll up my outfits and tuck
each into my bag. I try to take less
than half of my ‘what if’ worry items and cut short my ‘disaster plan’
thinking. If I pack positive thoughts and
clean panties I am fine and if I forget them I can always pick some up along
the way.
Retreat is not the same as change

THE STORYTELLER
Funny stories I long to share with new friends
Have to be put aside while the core of this entity is built.
Mutual memory is the siding on a house framed in integrity.
Treading together through the past
We strengthen each others perception
Which is the only support
That can be offered without time travel.
We take hands, link arms and wander
Happily towards the future
Having the keys to history jangling in our fists
We can return whenever prudent or necessary.
We forge a fresh path and hope for a pleasant journey
Between us we figure to have slain all the dragons.
