I just noticed a piece of green plastic string – probably 2
metres long – tied to the curtain rail and left hanging there since it helped
support the unstable Christmas tree five months ago.
I’ve been aware it was there but suddenly it is getting in
my way. But I’m aware that actually, it’s only seven more months till we
probably will have another unstable Christmas tree requiring a steadying
support. Has everyone else been wondering when the slapdash homemaker would get
around to taking that green string down, or is everyone else as blind or
unconcerned about it as I have been?
It’s amazing how we can have artificial supports in our
lives which we gradually become unaware of. They become part of the furniture
of our minds/lives/spirits. We rely on them sometimes even more than we rely on
God, whose support is secure, natural, supernatural even, and never breaks or
lets us go.
Will stop now and get the scissors. At least I can attend to
that pesky green string.
