It is funny, because I have used this term in a different way, but maybe it is the same? In the US, there is this constant drive to have more. Bigger ....more. More than I had. More than the other guy. Because, why? Because in the US society this makes me "better?" "More successful?" For what? To reach the end of life and say ..... look at all this.... stuff? SO, I say, when do we have enough .... stuff, or money .... .and say I want to live, a simple life. Like Thoreau, in the woods. To live life more simply. "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." I think your house in your vision .... is like a metaphor for this. Keep writing from the heart dear brother ..... it is a true gift.
So true, we all seem to spend most of our lives working hard to pay for things we don’t really want or need. You’ve been living a beautiful life the last many years. It’s been fun to watch.
