So I'm going to go see a band tonight. My favorite song of theirs is entitled "Shake the Rafters Loose." This song has been on replay in my head. Today as I'm looking at friend's photos, I come across some pictures of words written on wood pieces (2x4s and such). The wood pieces were assembled into an effigy and set aflame. There was a variety of messages. The idea of sending your words into the universe in flame is powerful. Intentions you hope to realize. Hardships you wish to release. Love you wish to share.
Well, after looking at about three or four of these pictures, it hit me. I wrote on the rafters. Remember that summer? Yes. I was so in love. Just for a second it made me sad. What I wrote on the rafters is what I thought would remain as my present. One day, my "present" will be revealed. It won't matter if those words defined the rest of my life. It will just matter that in that moment, I wrote my feelings on the rafters.
(My words were never committed to the universe in flame. That might be symbolic. But, they are there. They will be until the house is torn down or remodeled.)
