In anticipation of our relocation we have been sorting through our lifetimes’ memorabilia. I stay current with my possessions by keeping what I value, gifting what someone else might, and recycling the rest with a keen desire to avoid adding to the already full landfills. During my years living on islands (in Canada, Hawaii, Guam and Bali) I adopted the philosophy that if each person were to be buried with their leftover stuff we’d all cut back on waste.
Witnessing my husband’s slow thorough process, I applaud. He is signaling to the Universe his willingness to let go of his attachments and move forward, sniffing out the trail of Divine Will along the way. Like me, he is sorting out his life, one scrap at a time.
How much of your stuff would you want to be buried with? Are you willing to let go of your attachments in time to sort out the best usage of your stuff that you don’t want to be buried with? Ki to Happiness sorts while embodying the old adage “All is well that ends well.”
