Which then maybe is a separate post, on the nature of beauty, not merely the sum of harmonious colors, symmetries and shapes, but ...? How to describe? Mathematicians describe beauty as well, and it has none of those qualities, and certain words, languages, have to the ear the same quality, and so there's a more worthwhile thought I can return to.

That said - Empty Locker, VERY FULL APARTMENT - and only a couple of days to downsize it all. It won't all go, I'm sure, but I have to take the photos, try, at least, always, try...
A lot of shit sold and I don't have the merchant heart I thought I did, in the end it just wore me down, but it persuaded me, for sure, not to go buying any more shit. Not that it would fit...
