Spring Cleaning – Never Even Looking at the House

We seem to prefer superficial realities; those kinds of tidying behaviors that keep things amply clean and sufficiently arranged. It’s often more about presentation than substance. We tend to spit-shine the thin veneers and bring them to a lustrous polish so that whatever’s underneath them is assumed to be just as lustrous.

Yet, we all need a deep clean. The adverse quality of the deep clean lies in what it reveals about us, which is often not altogether appealing. Additionally, cleaning that dirty stuff is just plain work, and at times it’s outright sweaty and dirty. Yet, cleaning is ultimately freeing far beyond the level of work brought to the process of cleaning itself. This episode prompts us to consider a little spring cleaning.
