Death takes away everything, and does so in an instant. So why not prepare for this intimate event by letting go of some things. Like what? Like that which you know in your heart of hearts you don’t really need. Buy less things. Become more comfortable with bare necessities. In trying to move into this simpler life you might discover some things about yourself that all your stuff has covered up. Maybe a loneliness. Maybe a sense of inferiority. Maybe an ego that wants constant feeding. You might attend to these things as they come up. Though they are fantasy in reality, they are real to you in your unreality. The many things we grasp onto are the really unreal. The fullness of life just might be in the scarcity of stuff.
