That House

Making plans
She asked: "What are your plans for next week?"
I felt speakless. "I don´t make plans" I said.
(Never even though of making week-plans)

I continued thinking of her question...

I like not making too many plans in my everyday life.
It IS a beauty in not knowing what is to be
and to take LIFE as it comes.

Now was summer
and a time just to be,
therefore my plans were none.

But when it comes to my proffession;
plans are necessary if I want to get somewhere!
In my proffession I do make long term plans.

When I am in midst of a commission
I have a job to do -
plans may seem not so necessary to think of.
But NOW I realize that even then I need a strategy -
a plan to work on side by side as I paint.

Those long term plans that I am making
I feel will be much easier to turn into reality
if I brake them down into "nice, handy little time packages of weeks".

Never thought of making week-plans.

What are your plans for next week?
