A Library of Clumps

All books finally living with their friends. At least according to my understanding. This is not the neat, organized shelving I anticipate as the final leg of the library’s journey, rather this is broad clumping and literally stacking of books of related content. My classical/ancient history/mythology bookshelf filled up quickly, has books on top of it stacked and in front, maybe 8 stacks two feet high plus a couple of outliers around the corner. American Studies section is the same, ditto science/environment/emergence. The art books I gave enough space so they’re not as crowded though equally numerous.

This afternoon I’ll start figuring out what to do with the banker’s boxes, the plastic bins filled with files and the boxes containing my journals since the mid-1970’s. Once some filing is done and these boxes have a temporary, but organized home, I will unpack the art. That will take time and creativity, the latter in finding temporary places for it.

At that point I’ll be ready to get back to my Latin, writing, art and to begin hiking in the Arapaho National Forest. I’ll probably get there this month. Faster than I anticipated.
