I prefer to keep my table, in fact my whole house, cozy yet uncluttered and in tune. When you are preoccupied with what’s on your table, you have no energy to spare to entertain envy, blame, or wishing harm to others. It’s a waste of time. Naturally, this presumes that you can be enthusiastic about what you have on the table to begin with.

If you have more than you feel is just right, it follows that there are things on your table which don’t exactly make your heart sing. Perhaps you don’t have energy to spare to curse your lot, but when overwhelmed, we do like to project outward that deep hunch of things being somehow off. After all, change appears painful.

Similarly, if the table is undernourished, or the things on top of it don’t entice us, we feel lack. Oh, how easy is to rationalize how this or that outside of our power and control prevents us to be content. But things that vibe with us are accessible. It’s those that don’t which we fail to attract.

Although, on the other hand, it’s the things we agreed to accept out of false notion of some kind of connection that just hog resources and don’t resonate at all. On top of it, what we get in return for living according to expectations of other people is no love. Ever. It’s always a barter after all.

So, what’s the state of your table?
