Thank you. The phrase "little broken things" resounds.

Your comment expands the image for me--I think of sticking something broken aside and saying "I'll fix this later" until one's workshop is choked with things that will never be fixed, but have become too dear from familiarity to be discarded.

*nod* We have a certain amount of space for things in our houses, lives, souls. In order to bring new things in, old things need to go away...

That's why I like going to the dump so much. Gives me a chance to clear space for new things to come in.
