Make room for things whose only job is to make life more beautiful.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Some things in a life should have no function beyond being good to have around. Flowers that die, music that solves nothing, an object that only pleases you. A life built entirely of useful things is efficient and thin, and the beauty is not a reward for the efficiency, it is part of what the efficiency was supposedly for.

Add one such thing this week without justifying it. Do not wait for a reason or an occasion. The absence of a purpose is the entire point, and it is easier to allow once you have done it once.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

What would you bring into your week purely for its beauty?
