It's nice to watch the pile of empty boxes grow, to get rid of the clutter. (I hate clutter, yet tolerate it.) Sometimes I'm in a real purging mood, ready to toss everything I don't need; other times I'm more conservative in my consolidation.

But ceramics kinda stalled and the stuff was bugging me, so I had at it. :) I googled define: mara ... <i>(Skt.): Any negative influences that obstruct spiritual practice and development.</i> But it seems more like a challenge to be understood.
