“We cling to the physical world as a means to ease the untamable mind: the capricious self, made of energy.”
NOURISH | Carl Barnett
How is it that we can love an object almost as much as we love another person, cherishing the light the object brings. We are innate collectors and creators, sense makers of the world within and around us, building futures as we untether from the past. We cling to the physical world as a means to ease the untamable mind: the capricious self, made of energy.

“The physical world of things is a mirror to our ways of thinking, sense-making, and our drive to persevere.”

It is not misguided to say that we are attached to the things we collect, as they speak deeply to who we are, giving rise to sensations that dwell deep within. They are extensions to our identity, physical evidence of who we think we are and wish to become. They hold our memories, stir sensations that tell us we’re alive, living in a world of beauty and the ugly. The physical world of things is a mirror to our ways of thinking, sense-making, and our drive to persevere.

We are romantics, pragmatic hopefuls, each with the potential for good and bad. As we create our world, we create ourselves, from the beauty of who we are, and are not.
