There is a thriving creative community out there in the world that refers to certain objects as MOOP. The word is an acronym for Matter Out Of Place or what many call litter or trash. Many people think about this term, moop, and start to apply it liberally. What is out of place? What really belongs in a certain spot? What trace have I left on the globe?

We like things a certain way. Everyone does, some special thing they require or desire or lust after or make sure of is always at the ready, be it physically on hand or in mind. What does it mean that we need certain things or feel that we need things in a certain order or in a certain way or quantity to be happy? One, two, three or once. How much is enough of what you want? How much is enough of what you need? Is it OK to only do what you want? Is it OK to put aside what you need?

Time keeps ticking away and no matter whether I acknowledge it or care about it time always seems to add up! When looking around outside everything signals that it is nearing spring and with that past events appear flickering bouncing and crawling up again in my mind. Dunes, dust, water, heat, cold and lonely long nights. Maybe in five months time things will be better, or worse.. or different or the same, maybe not….

Everything that I imagined the desert would be like was wrong.
