The smallnesses are known from the greatnesses

A little over two weeks will my departure for NYC. I do not know what to wear or to expect. There is a thrill that is hiding behind the curtains right now. I planned to prevent myself from splurging until my trip, but knowing me, I could not resist. Although I brought home some goodies with me, I also donated some of my own goodies. As always, it felt great getting rid of unused and unwanted things. I am guilty for being a hoarder, because of sentimental and emotional attachment - even towards the ugliest things - for the fear that it will come back and haunt me if I do not keep it. I am breaking away from old habits.

A while ago, I came across a lady who had a great teaching method for the little girl she was taking care of. She said to the little girl, "If you want something, you must give up 5 of your unused toys so that some other child could play with it." I thought that was brilliant. I never thought of it that way. Denying a child from their wants takes determination and assertiveness. But it's not about the child is taking one step forward and five steps back, it's teaching the child the value of their wants. Is this one item worth 5 of my toys back home? But then throwing in the whole donation to the needy thing is the real catch. If I get this one item, my toys will be given to someone else who will love it as much as I did. Marvelous isn't it?

I am currently entranced with "The Thunder, Perfect Mind" poem or sometimes known as "The Thunder - Perfect Intellect." Such beautiful clothes to flow with soothing music to follow the beautiful words in this wonderful short film. Enjoy with ecstasy.
