My wise guys are
feeling some anxiety these days.
You see, we are in
the process of moving and their window ledge, their home, is bare.
Gone are the wee
books of wisdom that they read together,
gone is the waving
cat that they once mistook as Divine until they learned his
secret,
and gone is the
annoyingly arrogant leprechaun.
This has created a
mood of fear as you can see from the picture.
They remain
huddled in the corner and no amount of coaxing will move
them.
I feel their
distress. Packing and purging are painful.
But, they will
have to overcome their fear of the future, as will I.
For change
involves risk, stepping out into the unknown.
But I will not let
the wisemen step off their shelf unassisted.
I will carry them
carefully to their new home,
wherever that may
be.
