Philip Glass and letting less be less

Less, i like to believe, does not have to be more. It can be. But i like to believe it can also be less. Or at least i hope so.

One of my life's contradictions (one which i've been noticing more lately) is that i consider myself something of a minimalist. i cannot imagine anyone else would think that about me; but, at heart, i think of myself that way. No one else would, and that is due largely to a complete lack of evidence to support the belief. So it's a contradiction.

Now, i'm not saying i want to live in a tent or anything but i think i could pare down a bit. Part of the problem is not knowing how or where to start. i try to examine my life objectively and look at things from a balanced perspective. If i do a good job of that i should be able to rationally decide where the line is but i'm perplexed.

So i've got no answers on this one. i have a vague idea of what i want but no idea what it looks like, how far i am from it or how to find it.

Sadly, this seems about like par.
