With apologies to Frank Herbert.*
I must not fear forgetting to pack something.
Fear of forgetting to pack something is the mind-killer.
Fear of forgetting to pack something is the little-death that makes you check your suitcase for the same item 87 times because you can’t actively see it.
I will face my fear or forgetting to pack something. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will check my list and turn my actual eyes to see it’s packed.
Where the fear has gone there will be a properly prepared suitcase.
Only the stuff I don’t need will remain.
Anyway, guys – how’s packing for Princess Half Marathon Weekend going for you? 😅
* For the record, I read Dune in 2014, when the only movie sustenance was David Lynch.**
** It was pretty good in that it was weird and I dig that. Also Patrick Stewart was there. I liked the book more than I expected to given my tepid response to Lord of the Rings.***
*** SHUT UP NARNIA IS BETTER STORYTELLING IT’S NOT MY FAULT THE MOVIES SUCK****
**** Message me for a detailed explanation as to why. Please. I’m begging you. No one else wants to hear it.
