The End

Once upon a time in the Land of Beginnings, the people, Beginners, found themselves in a very difficult situation. Well it had, quite literally, been building for years. Some of the Beginners did not believe that the situation was a problem and of course some thought that it was. They were a country divided until the day came when both sides were sure that yes indeed they did have a situation.

It all began when the Beginners settled into a beautiful countryside and decided to call it the Land of Beginnings. They really wanted to call it The Land of Beginnings because they had just been forced to leave a very precious place, a place that had been so wonderful for so long. The sadness each of them felt for having lost this most precious place was so overwhelming that they made it a LAW that never ever again would anything ever ever come to an END.

And so for very many years this was passed down from one beginner to the next. Soon no one remembered why they never got rid of anything they just knew that was the LAW. The Older Beginners hid from the Younger Beginners things that naturally died like flowers by burying them and never speaking about them again. It became a way of dealing with anything that brought on thoughts of losing something and then moved to any unpleasant feelings at all. Everyone learned to ignore those “bad” feelings and cover them up.

Their homes eventually became mazes of additions each piled high and bulging with all the new things that always came in and all the things that never ever left. There was so many toys and books and chairs that everything and everyone was on top of everything and everyone else.

There were clothes hanging rows upon rows and closets filled to over flowing and drawers stuck open with socks that never got lost in the laundry. The Beginners could not move- and well they started to get a little crabby with each other and feel a little overwhelmed and trapped at having so much stuff to deal with.

The situation had reached it's peak (quite literally). And so the Beginners had to figure out what to do. Well of course everyone here knows what they should do – do you?
