dear doris. do you collect things? love jess, edgecliff, australia.
dear victoria & jess,
in the first act, i tune into higher consciousness ruminating why we as humans collect physical and non-physical things on earth. the second part of this question i share my current fave find.the third act we chat to a soul who is a way bigger collector than i am — friend and fellow second-hand scavenger jade from yeah vintage via the kawa heart studio podcast episode #2 the joy of collecting vintage.
part 1.
humans collect memories. they are bound to experiences which are encapsulated in objects and things. things are just things. rings r’ rings. bling is bling. the shinier an object, the more we can see your own reflection within it. how does it embody you — in a dense physical object. how are you bound to a mass — that takes up space in your world/earth/life.
you can collect memories and experiences in your heart. it is a treasure chest filled with rich experiences and tapestries of your life, that can be accessed with connection to it.
open your heart by taking in quick breaths and breathing out slowly. with the exhale — imagine your heart filling with every moment of joy, love, pain & suffering and all the colours of the rainbow creating a whirling ball of rich and raw wonder — swirling, twirling and spiralling into your heart(shape box).
only you have the key to this treasure and can access it with love and ease, total appease and it’s one hundred percent free. don’t forget to close the box here and there — so you don’t attract negative entities. but allow it to open when love and light shines upon it. hold love close while objects have their place as a faraway second(hand).
recycle pieces that are made with intention. keep quality in mind. quality over quantity. light loads in life lead to light-heartedness. heavy hearts and heavy laden souls sink from physical and metaphysical weight.
lighten your load with less, keep the best and leave the rest that do not serve you. an item is in service to you — and is only useful when in service. otherwise it becomes a kept servant without purpose or poignancy.
part 2.
my recent fave find is a deadstock copy of the kurt cobain book, unseen by charles r. cross. it still has the plastic cover and price tag on it (from polyester records in melbourne) it’s a collection of his poems, artwork and even has an untouched relic cd inside.
