Spring shiu

Lately I've been taking feng shui--the Chinese art/science of creating harmonious environments--very seriously.  Never mind whether it is superstition or common sense or just interior design with an extra agenda.  The fact is, it seems to work.

By which I mean . . . once I began thinking about my surroundings in terms of flowing energy, I saw (and corrected) a lot of problems.   At the simplest level, I realized that if your life is already full-to-bursting with old stuff (objects, relationships, beliefs, etc.), there is no room for new stuff.  Life becomes--to use the technical term!--stagnant.

The vernal equinox (aka, first day of Spring) is a splendid time to start clearing away the outmoded, the outworn, the out-of-touch, the never-wanted, and the maybe-useful items that block fresh energy from entering your life.  So explore!

Ah! Stagnation, the everpresent tendency toward inertia. So much energy just rolling on blindly, aimlessly, inexorably. The thermodynamic curse of entropy.

Who would imagine that in a parallel universe, the miracle of mindfulness is everpresent and that refreshment can trump stagnation. Simplify! Simplify! Easy to say, but cleaning out that junk of the past can be challenging. Rooms tend to clutter as do minds. Empty space for new energy. Yes, I'll give it a try.

Thanks
