This is the season where lots of people have given up different things. Lent. The 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter has often been celebrated thus. It’s now also spring which means spring cleaning. I am by nature a collector. Not really anything in particular, but little odds and ends. It drives Becca nuts on occassion.
So letting go of things is hard.
For Becca, it’s letting go of shoes.
Maybe it’s not the shoes or the “little plastic peice that used to go to that one thing that doesn’t work anymore” that is the problem. Maybe it’s the addiction to ownership that is the problem. We don’t let go because it’s ours. Like Gollum in Lord of The Rings. “My Precious”.
Maybe our “stuff” isn’t quite so precious afterall. Maybe in getting rid of the clutter our creativity will flourish anew.
