spring cleaning

The time has come for the over used cliche of spring cleaning. Newspapers are publishing articles on it and people are talking about it like it's some sort of inert force; an instinctual drive that forces people to clean in the thawing warm afternoons of April. I -the ever faithful follower- am attempting to spring clean my life. I started on my room, then drifted around to the rest of the house. The rooms corridors of my brain are a lot harder to clean but I couldn't help myself. It reminds me of the movie I watched recently called Sunshine Cleaning.
" I mean because people don't realize the safety risks involved with the removal of - blood and body fluids."
 "I cannot imagine. You like it?"
"Yeah. I do. We come into people's lives when they have experienced something profound - and sad. And they've lost somebody, you know? And the circumstances, they're always different. But that's the same. And we help. In some small way we..we help."
