MAXIMS

Clutter is less tempting when you are grounded in your values.

On a long enough timeline, nothing is permanent.

The fear of change exposes our insecurities.

Admittance is expensive whenever clutter is the cost of admission.

A coercive relationship extinguishes the potentiality of love.

Freedom is the byproduct of letting go.

The truth does not require consensus to remain true.

Life is too short to sell yourself short.

Silence is the best explanation.

Today’s impulse purchases are tomorrow’s regrets.

slowing time. I like to travel within. I like to travel around, travel to what is right before me, above and under me. I do not need to go far to feel novelty and change. I may watch the same rose everday and see the difference. I walk the same route and see something new. being present makes time slow down. being an observer of what is around me and within me stretches time. I often see people absent walking, absent being, absent living. they cling to their smartphones while walking their dog, carrying their child, drinking tea, even while eating they escape to this little device, as if therein was better life. and I wonder: where are they? when life is now. life is here. and you cannot double time by multitasking, you erase time by wanting to be here and there at the same time, one foot in the past and one in the future is never now. now is time, is life, is all there is, is all we have.
