room by room purge our home of clutter and disorder

fresh and airy,

an empty vessel.

waiting to be filled with something greater.

something less.

(i think of simone weil and thoreau.)

I can imagine the Bee-Queen’s response…

The lady has these plants in the dining room, they take up a lot of space, they are not particularily attractive and they just won’t die on their own.

I consider them clutter, but the lady has this soft spot for all living creatures – plants included.
