What has brought me to this day that I shall retain?
What shall I discard?
Last year during Lent I read "The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up". I immediately set upon de-cluttering my home - my closets, drawers and cabinets. Whatever ceased to give me "JOY" was gone- passed on so as to provide joy for another. It was freeing!
Now I find my mind and my soul need some de-cluttering. There are burdens I carry that are based in habit more than reality; things that I could probably release through prayer and practice. There's a lot of unnecessary clutter that plays through my thoughts.
Virginia Woolf said: "My own brain is to me that most unaccountable of machinery - always buzzing, humming, soaring, roaring, diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What's this passion for?"
I would add, what's the need being served, and could I discard?
