Day 287
My sister is here to de-clutter me. To help me sift through bulging hanging files, the toppling mountain of my in-tray and the jumbles in my drawers. To throw away the things I keep because I can’t decide what to do with them, which take up space not only in my cupboards but in my mind. Of course I could tackle these tasks myself - and sometimes I do - but something beautiful happens when my sister brings her gift of order and clarity - her gentle wise-womanness - to my chaos. She applies William Morris’s secret of - ‘Love it, use it or get rid of it’. And holds the black bin liner open for me.
So I always feel better after her visit: shape-shifted.
