Rewoven Space
The attractiveness of non attachment. But when your attachments re-attach themselves, the philosophy needs revising. Shedding encumbrances sounds ideal, easy. Most of the rest of us have to fit things in; we're here to stay, and our collections come with us. No aphasic amnesia for the amassment of a lifetime. Back on the Wheel of Samsara, burdened with unopened boxes in spaces too small to encompass the return. My entire library crammed into a bedroom without the bookcases that wouldn't fit down the stairs. Accessible through a list of contents; but inaccessible. The abode that was found, that fit, the one for unencumbered living, too small for what fills it now. A burgeoning life, cast aside, that returns to take up where it left off. The hexagram of the return displaying its full force of bounty. A thesis to be finished, heirlooms of words, the library from which I referenced, homeschooled, taught, gifts to the future. Space must be rewoven for this amplitude, its largesse.

Good luck with the spatial awareness puzzle you have undertaken. I like to think of these things as real-life-3D-tetris.
ReplyDeleteBooks are a tough one. I am about to embark on another round of book crossing - novels I can discard, but reference material sticks like glue.
I have a friend who's home is too small for her possessions but she has utilised every space for her book collection - shelves running above door ways and windows, in bathrooms and under the stairs.
It sounds like regardless of the sense of clutter, it is precious clutter. You sound excited :)

I strongly identify with "precious clutter" and wish you peace and breathing room. And joy in the reunion with old friends.
ReplyDeleteIt's a few days later and it's looking less like 'precious clutter' and more like 'impossible clutter'! So many boxes of books, oy. And I can't open any of them since there is nowhere to put the books. Either the space increases (as in MOVE), or I will have to buy more shelves that do fit when I have eight beautiful teak ones languishing in storage. What's appealing about staying here & having the storage unit is that I can afford both. That's a nice feeling. Not overextended. And that leaves lots of room for trust that this will all work out however it may!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stray, and e_journeys! xo to you both.
