I’ve spent a mostly quiet weekend cleaning and organizing my residence. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized an orderly environment equals less stress and more mind space.

All across cultures and time, people have done up their living space; it’s a universal commonality of our species. What we deem home, we take care of.

The time is upon us to recognize that the Earth as a whole is our home, and the only one we will ever know. This planet, and all its mystery and wonder, can only be cherished if we treat it with the reverence it deserves.
