“What the nature of things are, substances. Fine and aromatic oil extracted from certain plants.”

Over the years we accumulate, accumulate, accumulate, Knowledge, responsibilities, experience, friendship, property, a constant sum without stopping to think whether it’s worth, if the buildup is productive, if this accumulation is interesting or not.

All of the sudden we feel the need to get rid of these weights, the overhead and we quietly let go little by little, leaving behind the things that has left. Letting in touch our essence.
