Do things talk?

Possessions of all sorts must be limited to your ability to use them actively. 

You should not just sit in the midst of things, but live in a place where what is about you is in active service. 

No ornaments, either pictures or furniture, should be stored away. 

What cannot be enjoyed daily should be passed on.

The same is true about jewellery and clothes―pass them on. 

Keep things circulating, and they do not die.

This is a great truth. 

Things live, and have a character, as well as people. 

They absorb your personality and give off the atmosphere―or feeling of them. 

That is why you can feel at once whether the people who live in a place are fine and hospitable―or selfish and cold. 

Their things talk.
