Less is more

Quiet peaceful environments, thoughts that are given space & time, more space & less stuff, quality before quantity. Heard that before? Now more than ever, we are swamped by volumes, over & mass production. I can not honestly say for what purpose or benefit. I’m not the right person to judge it fairly. But it makes you think of your own actions, at least. Whether we need all this stuff or not – I’ll leave it to others to ponder over. However, it’s nice with well-chosen objects – when they have a personal value – in environments that makes things more visible. Where light & shadow can play their melody by hours of the day.

Lines, curves & shapes come to life. You see new things constantly, in the same room, depending on atmosphere & mood. Windows, doors, pillars, walls & floors, becomes important. The architecture of the room suddenly appears. It is soothing & peaceful. But mind you, not always. It depends on what you feel for in the moment. I like those decorative stuff that creates a home, things that matter & that have been around for a while. It’s important to be enabled to appreciate simple & pure expression from time to time. You know, to be given the opportunity. In a world that normally or usually are busy with lots of things all the time, at the same time. With less things the more opportunities that allows you to think new thoughts…or just breath & relax. So, what do you think, is less more?

Hej there friends,

There’s so much buzz around in my daily life at work which indeed is both fun & quickening. However, I have great need for silence with as little noise as possible, once I’m home. At least from time to time. I guess it’s a human need because of our busy lives, being constantly connected as well as busy with different stuff. Even holidays are filled with actions & activities so once we’re back, we’re so tired so we have to have time off, again. I don’t know about you but it’s certainly like that in my circle of friends.

Precious, precious time, some of the few things left in life, that we can’t buy. And that we don’t seem to handle too well. We want time but can’t really relax once we get it. So if you are in that moment – take some time to yourself. Relax, turn off the phone, read a book, listen to the silence, allow your thoughts flow freely. Just do something you like. You don’t need a reason! Do it because you like it, because you want to, because it makes you happy. Here are some peaceful images with only what is regarded as necessary.
