stillness

withered series ii
withered series i | from my fridge vege drawer, dried, overdued, frozen

withered series i
withered series i | from my orchid plant, shriveled, shrunken, faded

Just be still for a moment. Listen to the sound and wind around you. Listen to your thoughts. Pay attention to the details around you. Take a moment to think about your day. Savoring the stillness. Remember my list ...there are more to it. Just a little note to self.

evaluate time
learn to say no
simplify my wardrobe
limit my buying habits
eat slowly
exercise
learn what “enough” is
keep email inbox empty
find inner simplicity
carry less stuff
develop equanimity

Beautiful images.

I like how your approach to minimalism isn't about taking things away... It's appreciating what's there.
