When I had few things
I collected them
to fill the spaces
that felt scary
and fix me in space
so I would not float away
Now I have things enough to know you collect nothing but are yourself the collection
All the thoughts you've thought and the feelings you've felt and the stories you've shared make you your own curio cabinet, collection, and all.
Much more fulfilling than things you can hold much less dusting than things you acquire
What is truly useful is what you carry in your head and your heart on the way home
What is truly extraordinary is the home you find in empty space.
