Possessions speak to us all day long.
That book you purchased
But have never read
Says
“Read me!”
And the empty shelf
Says “fill me up with more.”
Some possessions warm and nurture
While others distract, dissuade, and even harm.
If we are not careful, the things we own
Can siphon off our strength.
Or they can build us up,
Make us better.
So choose carefully what you own
And don’t be afraid of letting go
Of a thing
When it no longer serves
The purpose for which it was purchased.
