Better a handful of quietness
Than both hands full with toil
And much chasing the wind
Ecclesiastes
A sure sign of spiritual growth:
You want more freedom, and less stuff.

Great image. I look forward to more of your decluttering – I need all the help I can get.

I can agree wholeheartedly but I’ve always been a minimalist. There are those wired differently, where collecting things are seen as enriching, either that or opportunities to use in another creative endeavour such as the fine artist’s. And that I must respect, though my own life with less clutter is indubitably happier. Want to help me clean out my attic? LOL
