A Pile Of Junk?

A Pile Of Junk?

A house clear-out can feel like that.

Lots of “things”.

But all of those things had once been created. And though many of those creations came into being because of economics or expediency, some were created with a great deal of care and love.
And all of them have held some meaning to the previous resident. At least at the point of acquisition.

We could try and look at those “things” through their eyes, and discover why they may have mattered. Maybe it’s impossible to tell. Creativity in a pile, will usually still seem like a pile of junk from the outside looking in.

And the value within can take time, focus and energy to uncover.

We can try and spend that time.

Or it can all go to the tip.
