Bowling The first birthday adventure
Share
I was >obsessed<
For a long time
With figuring out
How to get all my belongings into
TWO SUITCASES
•Crazy•
I know but
•Why?•
Because I have !TWO HANDS!
•And•
How absolutely ~wonderful~ would it be
To carry >everything< you owned in your hands?
.
One pot, one pan, one bowl, one knife
With a place setting for each of us.
-this was my kitchen-
My paint palette could literally fit in my back pocket.
Rolled up into my backpack
-my entire wardrobe-
Well
If I wore my coat.
•I know•
Writing this today I can see how this might sound
~a~little~bit~extreme~
But it was so fun
To wrestle with the idea of enough
Enough clothes-
Enough books-
Enough bathroom items-
Enough hobbies-
Enough momentos-
Enough stuff-
.
How does this relate to a painting of my nephew bowling?
It’s actually my favorite part
Of this insanely corky project-
>Birthday adventures<
Gifting memories
A place to go
Instead of things
No dusting around, picking up, sorting and putting away
A gift to both of us
And all of us
Remembered only in our brains.
