I've been reading the ikea catalog. I hope that whole "nesting" problem doesn't happen to me like in fight club. THat was cool. I probably don't have the funds to have that problem.
that's why I furnish the houses in my mind; the rooms of memory; the drawing room of desire.
I guess it comes from a crisis mentaility, but as a teen I developed an emphasis on the things in life that can't be taken away from you. that additude combined with buddhism has a funny effect: everything can be taken away from you, and who do you think this "you" is anyway. the only thing that can't be taken away from you/only hidden is buddha nature.
so maybe in a sense I am undecorating the rooms in my mind. Or at least airing them out.
wow, two consequtive rants about my mother. maybe I complain too much about my family. Outside of their foibles, the triad of my mother /sister\grandmother is really great.
