Very moving when you see someone’s wordly belongings all laid out like this. It has made me realise you can own too much.

It seems so sad that cumulatively these possessions are the whole owning of a persons life. Amazing stuff. Keep the pictures coming please !!!!

Then wonder – where was that person 10 years ago, 20 years ago? And today, St Francis for one, the Sacred Heart to another, lucky sprig of heather for someone else. How we all need someone or something to hold onto.

Our lives can change so rapidly at times for so many reasons too.

Thanks, Gentle Author
