My 9 year old friend Vaughn – star hockey goalie and fourth grader – is a master player of “Magic: The Gathering” (the world’s premier trading card game). Last night, while telling me about the card game and how to play, this was the first card he handed me, which says:
“All matter, animate or not, rots when exposed to time. We merely speed up the process.”
—Ezoc, Golgari rot farmer
I just love this message. As an Organizer I portend to “turn matter into energy”, with the general idea that matter, or clutter, sits and rots in your space, emoting negative energy. However, an organized clutter-free space serves you well, and has great energy. It slows the process of all matter, exposed to time, rotting away.
In other words, as my clients have heard me say, “everything has a shelf life” and that includes you, me and, especially, all of that clutter.
Slow down the rotting!
(Thanks Vaughny!)
