I'm one of those people who is in the "pushing-stuff-out" phase of life.  I 'm the last one alive and the stuff afrom my dead relatives sosmetimes drips with obligation.  Sometimes it clears.  It's such an interesting process full of interesting connotations--many of which have been touched on by your guests and other callers.  Sometimes as I push stuff out there's backwash and I accept this. (Stuff drifts back in tfrom the give-away pile or I pick up a new item at a thrift store. ) The stuff weighs on me.  The consumer society weighs on me.  I've written about it http://miriamfeder.com/category/stuff/ and it figures into my new play: http://miriamfeder.com
