Dust if you must. But wouldn’t it be better, To paint a picture, or write a letter, Bake a cake, or plant a seed? Ponder the difference between want and need.
Dust if you must. But there is not much time With rivers to swim and mountains to climb! Music to hear, and books to read, Friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must. But the world’s out there With the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, A flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come round again.
Dust if you must. But bear in mind, Old age will come and it’s not kind. And when you go, and go you must, You, yourself, will make more dust.
- – - written by Mrs. Rose Milligan

I think that is a wonderful poem WF and will send it to my dusty friends as well as my two sons who suffer from OCD so do not have a speck of dust.

Thank you for that, Wf! It makes me feel less guilty for not going right through the house today.

;D And the dust only settles again anyway, so you might as well leave it alone

Quentin Crisp always said that the dust never got thicker than 1" anyway so why worry.
and if it has to be done I like to see the full effect of my efforts.
