We spent the first day of the new year detoxing our humble little home. We cleaned every possible area and got rid of stuff that we've either outgrown or that no longer contributed to our lives. We are grateful that this year we are given another opportunity to live our lives right. Simplicity, minimalism, calm, silence, renewal. Calm and silence will be hard to achieve with me around, but my parents will try.
"Man suffers because of his craving to possess and keep forever things which are essentially impermanent." Buddha
"Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind." Albert Einstein
