Chaos and Order

"In our homes, we very often face chaos. The mere fact that we have countless ways and means in which we can structure our daily lives, puts us face to face with chaos. We have the opportunity of purposefully re-establishing order and structure where formlessness and haphazardness have taken over. When I clean, I do not simply want to remove dirt. I consciously try to create space for something new. Removing dust and dirt results in a void. This void I put at the disposal of helping spiritual beings who are linked to the place I am cleaning, that something new and positive may come about."

-Linda Thomas, "Chaos in Everyday Life - About Cleaning and Caring", Gateways (WECAN Newsletter), Fall/Winter 2003.

A long quote, but this sums up what I am trying to work with at this time in my life. Clearing, cleaning, and caring for our space. A huge task that is looked down upon, generally, by our society.
