moop

Less, I look around the house and notice what things I do not need. Again and again I remove a few more chotskys from the shelves. I go through my closet and remove the clothing I do not wear. I notice clutter that needs to be dusted and I decide if it is worth my time to continue maintaining an item or if I want to let it go. It is a little difficult to push my sons into the same mind set, but they are slowly getting there. We remove what is not worth caring for. Even books are slowly disappearing from my shelves. I have a whole book case in storage that I only look at occasionally. Slowly, slowly, the ones I do not need leave my space.

As my space becomes less and less cluttered my mind feels easier. As if the clutter of my home distracted me from my work and purpose. I can concentrate better when there are less distractions. I look at this desk now and think of what I can remove, a dust rag, a CD out of the case, a CD player, a small container with 2 batteries, my son’s book review book, a notice for a yoga class, more CDs, a coin, a few lego, a card for a photographer who never called me back. Wow, as I write that I am amazed, it is a lot of stuff. It is time to sweep up my desk, another eddy where the moop (matter out of place) accumulates.
