Prompt: things that get in the way

Barriers, obstacles, roadblocks, blocks, writers' block, painters' block, responsibilities, obligations, laundry, dishes, vacuums, sponges, towels, weather, schedules, calendars, agendas, appointments, meetings, meetings, meetings. What happens when all of this is vanished? If it disappears, what then? What is there waiting behind all that is in the way? What is it that has been obscured? Will it now finally float, ever so serenely, up, casting a shadow that too will fade as it, this thing of wonder, this fantastical beast, rises higher and higher, stopping only to levitate with the accumulated clouds? It is then we wish we had tied a very, very long string to this winged thing, to this elusive mythological creature.
