(New subscriber) This was inspiring. I also appreciate the inclusion of Japanese words and phrases, since I’m studying Japanese.

You made me realize that sentimental feelings are a form of attachment and co-dependence with mental constructs of what was. Thank you.

My heart is dust bunny packed indeed - but this has inspired me to taek on the oshire with gusto before the year ends...maybe. Thanks Hiroko. Loved this.

Wonderful piece! I've grown very fond of deep cleaning somewhat recently. Thinking about cleaning and organiIng as spiritual cleansing really made it click for me.

This got it some negative reviews in the UK because British people are highly offended by the idea of being happy about anything.
