Lose Somehting Every Day

""Lose something every day."
That sentence, from an Elizabeth Bishop poem called "One Art," has been softly ringing in my ears since January, when I embraced it as a resolution for the new year.

Like many good poems, "One Art" lends itself to several interpretations, which is why I've thought and written about it more than once over the years.

--it goes on to add--

The traveler learned something else, too. The things he had left behind, the possessions he had once counted as dire necessities, weren't really needed at all. He had been able to survive -- even thrive -- without them."

(Not precisely travel, but a good read.)
