Click on Clutter or Boxes to see more photos I took of objects, which made me think about the relationship between things and clutter, and between chaos and order.

Here are some ideas from other people, which I find interesting…

“Perhaps a truer simplicity lies in learning to stay calm amid the chaos: not engineering your environment so that it makes you tranquil, but in reducing the degree to which your tranquility is dependent on our environment; not keeping the kitchen spotless but learning to tolerate spots…” Oliver Burkeman

“What you really collect is always yourself.” Baudrillard

“A happier society would be one resigned to the stubborn presence of sorrow – and would hence be able to offer collective consolation rather than constantly dangle promises of individual perfection.” Alain de Botton

“Theatre is people, space, time and talk.” Marina Carr

“A time to keep and a time to throw away.” Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 6
