word: Purge
cleansing is healing
healing is eliminating harms
Minimal living does not mean poverty.
It means letting go of all extraneous
objects, obsolete thinking, relationships
completed. I keep packing, then unpacking
and giving away.
Why do I have multiples of so many things?
How many shirts do I need? Where did all
of this stuff come from? What else have
I accumulated that I need to pare away?
I am preparing my life, both inside and out,
to live in the essence, in the moment where
nothing weighs me down. Will I then be free,
someone asks? The question startles me.
Free…no, I reply, for I have always been
free. It is jus that I am more aware of it now.
Are you free? What does it mean to you? It is
a question to keep asking from time to time.

I think the worst thing we tell outselves is that anything or anyone has to be perfect
we ruin what we anticipate with expectations that are unreasonable
setting ourselves up for disappointments and worse, setting up who we love to be the source of it, when it was really us all along
as the great bard wrote
love does not alter, when it alteration finds
and it’s the imperfections and even, the annoying traits
that we miss the most, when the person is no longer with us
I discovered that wild guavas
only have worms when I am
wearing my glasses. Sometimes
looking too closely is not wise.
Or else, we must just accept that
what we love may not be perfect.
