Finding something forgotten

Michael asks us to explore deserted lanes in mind spaces – finding something forgotten.

I think about 

• Lost keys and other items found while moving house

• My husband scanning through his parents’ personal belongings years after they passed away, and revisiting memories associated with those articles

• Widows telling me stories about how they asked their late husband to help with something, and just landed on the object of search

• A school reunion where we talk about days gone by

• Walking through a stretch where concrete towers have replaced the greenery 

• Finding a cart with candy or ice-lollies we enjoyed in school

I think about using one of these as a theme, and then lightning strikes –

The most valued find in a lifetime is FORGOTTEN POTENTIAL.

I used to write in my student days, and then lost my creativity in drafting the perfect email or business report. It felt great to come back to it.

I decorated Amazon delivery boxes with decoupage art for storing kitchen napkins, and remembered that I enjoyed craft lessons in school.

I think I should try shaking a leg, despite the excess weight I carry, and rediscover my potential to dance.

The question that will haunt me this week is

“What did I do earlier, that I’ve stopped doing now?’
