The Weight Of Possessions

Jan. 19^th.

I’m thinking of a woman I know who once worked with me. She saved and collected practically everything she could get her hands on. Her station wagon was so filled with stuff she could barely drive it. Her house was so cluttered she was embarrassed to have anyone visit.  I wonder what makes someone want to collect and hold onto so many possessions. I believe it must be a fear factor and for her having things helps her to feel stable and secure in an ever changing world. I don’t want to be like her. In fact my vision is to create a place devoid of clutter where my sense of well-being and purpose and the giving and receiving of love are the factors that ground me not my things.
