The Energy of Things

As the dust settles in our home, boxes of things and excess furniture have been moved into storage. Space is clearing, and a new energy is being born. Even though disarray prevails, I'm feeling lighter with less stuff around me.

Unaware, through the years I've added this piece here and that piece there. Each one evokes the memory of where I was and who I was with when I bought it. Each piece was another bite that added weight.

Now, feeling freer, I'm vowing to keep this state of mind in our new home in Sedona. My promise to myself might mean that every painting doesn't go on a wall. Every piece of furniture won't make the move. Even some of my beloved china might find a new home.

What remains when these things are gone is space--blessed space.

This rising energy within me convinces me that less truly is more, and I'll make the next leg of my journey lighter.

You write it:  Look around you. What's weighing you down?
