The precedence in this statement is the thing and not the place; that we should question our connection to any thing that doesn't seem to have a place, the flotsam which makes up piles in the corner; that we consider a place for that thing that we always need and always spend too much time looking for because the its proper place is a variable, and not an absolute.
I don't look to the attribute of place for a solution because the place is as it is and largely unchangeable. But things, on the other hand . . . My problem currently is that the place has way more than it's share of things, and over that I exercise some modicum of control.
this piece of philosophy is coming at me at the exact same moment that i'm getting a real handle on how much my assumptions of what's about to happen influence my inability to deal with what actually happens when the time comes.
in that respect, i definitely need to buy you a beer sometime soon, so we can get this shit off our chests...
Same problem here. The more I throw out, the more there is to throw out. It's never ending. I bet the neighbors wonder what the hell's going on when I toss out 6-8 giant trash bags every weekend. Spare body parts...
