Packin' Up Gettin' Ready to Go!

I start packing a couple of days before I leave. I need to be organized. Sometimes I pack and repack the same bag, just to fit everything in the easiest or best in my mind. When it gets right down to it when the time comes finally I have to leave whether I'm ready or not, packed or not. Then I just stuff the last things in. It doesn't matter anymore. Maybe this is a lot like life. As we go through life we pack our experiences in. Other things happen, other people come into our lives, sometimes even a great spiritual experience, and we have to unpack and repack. Each day, however, we simply must live it, no matter how things are packed. If we are dragging around the past, it is more difficult to live today. But if it is put in its place, we'll do just fine. The past needs to stay there most often. So, packed and ready or not, I just gotta go. Dr. D.
