When did you last move from one domicile to another, downsizing in the process? Maybe you have yet to experience that upheaval, or having done it, you might rather allow the passage of time to swallow up that memory. The selling, the giving away, the trashing — what goes in which pile? The sorting, the packing — only to discover that what you can’t possibly live without, alas, can’t possibly fit in the new space.
