Abundance - a room in Leeds

We come into this world with nothing, and we leave this world with nothing, but is that really true?' There’s all that stuff we accumulate during our lives on Mother Earth, mountains of stuff, rivers of c**p, and out of all that we create extraordinary, beautiful and useful things. Are these things the things that define us and make us who we really are? If we let go of all this stuff, would we lose ourselves?
