Anything can be a crutch
Any habit that we need too much
All routines subject to change
Better to breathe and rearrange

Ah, indeed
Lost luggage on my recent trip enlightened me about myself quite a bit. My ability to adjust without much anxiety quite surprised me…taught me a lot about “stuff” and “habit.”
Yes. We do adjust. But usually only when we must.
True, but it is rather nice to know that we can. Also a nice thing to know that we need less to be happy than the world tells us that we need.
Ah. I think that is an American thing. We Brits are suspicious of happy.
Perhaps I should clarify that by stuff…I mean material things. Also by happy….I am referring to satisfied with ourselves. I too tend to be on the lookout for the “happiness” police and quite think we Americans are too immersed in “positivity propaganda.” I am not referring to an idealized happy. Perhaps I meant more along the lines of specifically that I was able to enjoy valuable time with family and friends without all the crap I thought I needed in my luggage. 🙂
Poetic perspicuity. Nice work.
‘Better to breathe …’ always
