stuff

it was freeing in 2006 to sell the studio and give away all our possessions except for what we could carry in our backpacks. (not totally true - we still have some of our art in self storage.) it was a gift being near possessionless. stuff weighs you down, stufflessness allows you to soar.

now, we’re getting more stuff. had a mattress delivered today. bought a used refrigerator the other day. tables, shelves, a futon for guests, dishes, clothes. life is becoming more complex, cluttered - and more comfortable.

The Man keeps knocking down my front door
Wants to sell me some sorta social spore
Says grits & groceries ain’t enough
In the modern life you need much more stuff
