“But when we really delve into the reasons for why we can’t let something go, there are only two: an attachment to the past or a fear for the future.”
― Marie Kondo, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing

“Here with Her

When we are on the verge of Spring
I await the blooming of flowers
And wonder who needs to leave this place
To find heaven. I bring flowers to her,
For no reason and for every reason,
And put them in a vase so she knows
that I have found heaven here with her.”
― Eric Overby, Journey

“The question of what you want to own is actually the question of how you want to live your life.”
― Marie Kondō, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing

“Unnoticed

There's a winter wren in Alaska
No man has laid eyes on her beauty
She sings in the spruce pine where she lives
No man has heard her song
She flies down to gather a twig for her home
No man has built her a house
She comes upon a bite to eat
A worm has a misfortunate morning
No man has thrown seed for her food
Overhead clouds cast a shadow in the dawn
She returns home
No man has noticed”
