The Liberating Power of Tossing
The more we live, the more we accumulate and collect: things, acquaintances, friends, lovers, wisdom, wrinkles, memories, passions, experience, books, money (or the lack of it), kisses and hugs, jobs, bosses, meetings, grudges, bills, cars, clothes, mementos, etc. The list is endless.
We get to a point where we have so much stuff that we feel overwhelmed, almost suffocated, not really knowing why. It seems that all of a sudden opportunities start to disappear; money vanishes, things break, arguments increase... it feels as if we carry a black cloud over our heads, threatening to rain on our daily parade.
We want the sun back, and the joy, and the freedom we once experienced which now has all but gone. We feel heavy, not only in body weight but in energy. And, when we least expect, depression arrives and with it, great trouble, lack of vitality, gloom, and finally despair.
"What am I living for? Is this all there is? What is the point of life if I am to feel this way?" you may ask, only to find that there are no satisfactory answers. Well, perhaps you don't get to such an extreme but the feeling that something is amiss never disappears, like a sour after taste in your mouth.
Well, guess what? To counteract this heaviness, it is time to start tossing things away. Get rid of old junk in whatever shape it comes to us: people, things, memories, etc. So let's practice tossing one thing each day for a month; not more than that because that may feel too much and you may never want to finish this exercise.
Of course, not everything is material for the junkyard. Some stuff can be very well re-used by others, in which case, you will give them away. Remember that your junk for is someone else's treasure.
In order to do this exercise perfectly, you need to take an inventory of what you have collected and accumulated during the years. It is easier to start with material things, especially trinkets, books, records, sewing material, glasses, dishes and silverware you no longer use; in sum, things in this category. Get a box and label it: "Someone else's treasures."
Each day, before you go to bed, get one thing and toss it in the box if it is still usable, that is; otherwise, just plain put it in the trash or recycling bin. If it went to the box, put the box away where you won't be tempted to retrieve it later on. At the end of the week, take it to a thrift store.
Next month, start by tossing memories that no longer serve your highest good. Your boss didn't treat you right when you were working somewhere else 20 years ago. Let it go. The cashier made you mad once when you were in that supermarket where you lived as a child. Let it go. Your ex-lover's sister made a comment about you that you didn’t care to hear. Let it go. The school bus driver laughed at you for some reason you may not even remember. Let it go. You father embarrassed you in front of his buddies. Let is go.
After you let go of your memories, do the same thing with people in your life: those who abused you, those who hurt you, those who neglected you, those who betrayed you, those who slighted you, those who were simply just not nice and you don't care to remember them at all.
Now, to let go of the memories, people and everything else that is not tangible for you to toss in the trash, you make them so. Just write down the names or experiences; no need to dwell on them, and then burn them saying: "I will now let you go out of my life." And see the smoke dissolve in the air. Now, toss the ashes.
Last advice: once you have decided to toss a thing, never ever take another look at it. You have killed something that was bad for you and it is now dead; gone for ever, never to come back again. You will see that, when you least expect the clouds have lifted up and the sun shines on your life again. You will know what it means to feel liberated.

Drunken Man in Snail Tales
A woman is preparing a French dinner for her parents and sends her husband out to buy some fresh snails.
The husband buys the snails and then pops into the pub for a quick drink. One thing leads to another and he stays for a few rounds, so many that by the time he leaves, it's nine in the evening.
Realizing he's extremely late the husband runs home, pours the snails over the path leading to his house, then rings the bell.
His furious wife opens the door. "Where the hell have you been?" she screams. The husband waves back to the snails, "Come on lads!" he shouts, "We're nearly there!"
