I've just listened to your video for the third time this week.<br> I don't like clutter, but I certainly have more than 37 items. After the first listen, I sorted through my clothes, and now have a bag full which will be given to my friends daughter. After the second listen,I sorted through books and notebooks. Currently, after the third listen, I'm enjoying a cup of mint matcha, in silence, just using my phone now to type this comment and to say thank you very much.

VIOLENCE: the overabundance of items, words, and stimulation really do give that feeling.

The concept of 'Ma' (empty space) is exactly what most of us are missing. We often think simplicity is just about throwing away things, but as you mentioned, it's really about creating space for the mind to breathe. 'Simplify before life does it for you'—that hit hard. A powerful reminder to let go of the mental clutter first. Thank you for this masterpiece.

Simplifying life feels less about removing things<br>and more about quieting the mind.

By instinct I began this practice at the beginning of this year. I am shocked to see the pile for the charity shops amassing daily. This has confirmed and encouraged me to continue. There is beautiful peace in clear space. So grateful to you 🙏
