What this episode covers
Human beings collect things, people, memories and all manner of ‘stuff.’ John and Lynn tiptoe among the objects, memorabilia, and discards to consider why folks collect. Does the act of collecting ward off fears of obsolescence and death? What do we leave behind that defines us even if we feel invisible? Can one choose to declutter and resist? Collecting is truly Unruly!
