Why do I look up when I vacuum? Because there’s usually cobwebs and fuzz and who knows what else up there. Not just the floor is dirty, you know. Sometimes, I get so zoned in on the carpet, I forget there even is a rest of the house. There is stuff to be vacuumed everywhere though - behind the door, on the baseboards, on the ceiling… Sometimes it seems easier to go through life zoned in on the carpet. We watch the lines the vacuum is making, make them straight, and think, “Ah, Good Job Me. What straight lines!” But what are we missing? The dust and the fuzz on the vents? The cobwebs in the corner of the ceiling? Dirt on the baseboards? If we truly want to have a clean house (or a full life), we get to be open to all the parts - to open our eyes and look up. Look around. There’s more to life than straight lines on the carpet.
