“I can’t live without books!” I heard someone say that last
week. Raise your hand if you agree, or maybe you’d call that an overreaction if
you compare books to items like food, clothing, and shelter. Actually lots of
people love books. I know someone who used to fall asleep at night surrounded
by them, and I know another person who buys twenty second-hand books at a time,
reads them, and then heads back to the store for more. Maybe books are life-sustaining.
Here’s a lady who
found more than a few things she could live without:
Your heart rate must be slower after all of that tranquility.
See how peaceful it feels living in an uncluttered environment? And did you see
the collection of books? I’m sure they’re book lovers, too.
Mrs. Lorence only kept the items she considered basic
necessities, but I don’t see us giving up most of the things she dumped. She
eliminated electricity, so there’s no refrigerator, which also means no ice
cream. That’s where I draw the line. Count me out!
What about you? What can’t you live without?
