On Moving
Jul 10
It dawns on me during this HUGE house move that more than just my home setting is being altered. And what is my home setting? Since I left Toronto in 2003, my journey has been a spiritual one, letting go of many of my material belongings, allowing me space to explore my inner world and leading me to try a life of non attachment with few material possessions.
I have loved these past 6 years. During the first 3, I didn’t seem to miss much of my “stuff” as I was VERY focussed on my internal “stuff”. Journeying into myself, I didn’t need material goods, I needed time and space. I had given myself lots of both of those things and resting in savasana, assimilating my new feelings and understandings was far easier with NO books nearby.
Now, I am on the verge of buying a home and for the first time in 10 years, and I am buying material goods again. I bought a bed! I have acquired books again and I am reading more.
AND, this stuff is heavy, not easily moved the way I have moved in the last 6 years. I am beginning to see a new cycle emerge, one where I have room in my life again for stuff and yet is this what I really want??!!
Apparently, my love and life partner has been asking the same thing and sent me this lovely article to ponder.
Enjoy… in peace… Read More
