. . . sail away . . . leave it all behind . . .

So I am doing a little today of that which occupies my time greatly in the weeks before I go to Beaver Island: hauling out my "stuff" and just looking at it; sorting through it a little, thinking about it, touching it; just making connections and getting in the mindset. What I should probably be doing is actually doing some watercolors to get into the swing of things, but I am sure I won't actually be doing that. What I NEED to do is get my house cleaned for when Trudy comes, but that is WAY to prosaic an activity. Way.
