My happy place is an organized library, with amber
lighting, a leather club chair, an ottoman, a warm blanket across my legs
& a side table supporting a hot to room-temperature beverage. This
place doesn’t exist for me yet, which is - I suppose
- why it is my happy place & not simply the place where I try to
read, but instead get distracted by cat videos, genre-crossing pop songs or memories that float into my head.
I find myself very easily distracted by tasks (making tomorrow’s
lunch, cleaning off the perpetually magazine-laden coffee table), if I
am not already deeply immersed in something. My mind – not unlike water -
is just as happy to crash
into obstacles like a river, as it is to sit still for a while, as
though it were a vernal pool.
Since I find my trains of thought more productive when I have nothing to distract me, I try to stay organized.
