Birthdays

What do birthdays have to do with reorganizing?

We are born not only without possessions, but also naked, an existence so fragile which is lucky to persevere. We continue through life accumulating not only cover, but also possessions, possessions, possessions. Although they may be pleasant and often "necessary," they are not us.

On our birthdays this year, let's try to aim toward our essences, as Victor Frankl called it, our "naked existence," and try to pare down our things.

To our existences sans possessions!
