Letting Go ... Not as Simple as it Sounds


I've been making good progress in my studio. Sorting. Throwing stuff out. Putting things away. Steadily working on a few select projects. (I may have a thing or two to post here before too long!)

What do I hope to gain? A semblance of order. Some focus. And a resurgence of my creativity.

Out of necessity, I've also had to declutter a few people in my life. I was feeling bad about it until I remembered a line from the Desiderata:

Avoid loud and aggressive people
They are vexations to the spirit

Indeed. When I hyper focus on those that irritate me, my spirit is vexed indeed!

What do I hope to gain? The wisdom that allows me to show compassion to myself.
