Cleanse
They say cleanliness is next to godliness.
Maybe in more ways than one.
Spring gives fresh hope to the world with new things that can grow.
To make room, we clean out the house, and maybe even our bodies to make room for healthy things we really need and want.
Giving away old things is like letting go of things you once loved so that others can enjoy them too.
Even sifting through old books I haven’t read yet, I skim them to assess whether they’re still worth reading versus given away. They are like time capsules to an older, curious me.
I wonder how we can shed habits and emotions in a similar way. Peeling away to the core. Finding our innermost imperfections, holding them, repairing them for our wiser selves in the modern age.
