Treading Lightly

With the thought in mind that we are going to be packing and moving, we have once again looked through all our possessions and ruthlessly selected and kept only what we regularly use and what we need. The rest was sold, given away or thrown away. It feels good, it feels light, it feels 'out of my head' and 'off my back'.
I realise that having little yet having all you need is great abundance.

When Tony came back to South Africa he arrived with two small boxes and his bicycle. One box had clothes (few) and the other had tools. Now that is minimalism! He has since accummulated a few more bits and pieces, but few. I love a minimalist interior with simple lines and few but comfortable pieces.
Some dream pictures of simple lines and contemplative spaces.

  2. sorry ... 2nd thought - for the time being I'll keep my limited wisdom and take care of my sore joints in my comfortable warm flat :)(it's snowing here some mornings).
    I also like these smooth simple lines of decoration, but make no mistake that kind of simplicity can cost a lot of money!
