Yarn Harlot (2005)
“Every cell containing life all the way from grass through trees to leopards and humans receives the same message. It is a voice heard internally, pressing and insistent, and it says: Make something.
Okay, let’s look at this. For some, this is an easy one. Grass makes more grass, trees flower to make fruit, leopards make more leopards, and people … well, the urge is fairly clear, but the interpretation varies.
Some people clean. Their interpretation of “make something” has to do with making what... they already have better. I’ve tried this spring-cleaning thing, but I don’t find it satisfying. (Big surprise.) Frankly, diluting the make-something urge with hot soapy water weakens it for me. I empty a closet and then come to my senses with a floor full of crap I haven’t seen in ten years, dust bunnies roaming like cattle, a vague sense of confusion, and no energy left for putting the mess back. Spring cleaning is not for me.
I have fallen prey to the more traditional interpretation of spring’s message in the past, but much as I love my three daughters, making more of them is clearly not a long-term solution.MoreLess
