What I Did On My Holidays

"..the more we take,
the less we become,
a fortune for one,
that means less for some
.."

Dear lonely isle,

From the day we arrive till the day we leave, we leave behind many things during our stay, like an irresponsible hotel guest at the World Inn.
We leave footprints all over the Bathroom Floor of Reality, and tread mud into the Carpets of Humanity.
And along the way, we manage to break the Lampshed of Human Hearts, and probably stain the Blankets of Purity. Yes, humans are dirty, messy, and overall rather careless creatures.
But sometimes we do the right things, like packing into our suitcases the Towels of Friendship and nicking the Shampoo and Soap Bottles of Love and Care, on our last day.
Of course, everybody knows that when we check out at the Lobby of Mortality, that's when we pay our debts.
That would be the time we look carefully at the bill presented, and remind ourselves all the services used during our stay. And somehow we'll always forget that drink we ordered the night we drank too much, or the laundry services that somehow accumulated to quite a bit.
What about those phone calls when we were lonely, or maybe the electric kettle we broke?
Yes, it's the little things that escape us.
And then it's time to separate those who can afford their stay, and those who can't.
Sometimes, judgement day is nothing more than footing the bill. And those who are found wanting end up washing the dishes. (or bedsheets or floors. But that's not the point.)
It is everyone's dream to leave by the front door, glad of a good stay and finally going home.
But some of us are not so fortunate.
Most of the time however, our undoing, is of our own doing.
Life is one long holiday on a little paradise called earth.

So how have you been enjoying your stay?

love, joyce.
