Persephone's Inner Vision      Seventh Musing
 December 8, 2014

Messy basements are Easy to Avoid....and alas that is what happened to me. Busy with being in holiday sales, busy with work, busy with going to the Conservatory to paint real vibrant Beauty with a friend. Busy sorting through my Emotional Caregiving Archive on the second floor. Busy Basically Avoiding the Basement. Of course. 
    But I still think about it a lot and how I would Like It To Be. I would hope to match the outer stuff with my inner vision of a perfectly ordered Basement...with Stuff Thrown Out and places and spaces for what I need.
     I have the archive of many of my brothers beautiful paintings down there. I envision with my inner eye....his paintings nicely stacked up and even accessible for someone to brouse through if they went down there. I envision his drawings all nicely organized in brown folders. I envision a lot fewer paintings of his down there all together, because people saw his work, were able to see his work and bought it. 
But it's hard to appreciate art in the midst of chaos.....so the musings continue..the inner visioning remains..and soon I will make my descent again..into the past and into the present demand of dealing with all of it....like a shrewd mermaid perched on a rock with a big feather sticking out of my hat, I look out at the horizon of possibilities and see what it holds.
