YEAR OF ZEN: WINTER: DAY 65

Q: Have you been accumulating things/ideas?

A: I know the impulse to collect well…the impulse that is derived from being excited about something and then feeling like I need to spend money to get up to something like a baseline understanding. And then experience tends to show that this approach wasn’t needed and lot of the accumulated stuff just becomes clutter that makes me feel bad. I’m not expressing it well, but I try to think on this any time my enthusiasm for something leads me to the place of online retail shopping.
