Description

The Unshuttered Heart: Opening Aliveness/Deadness in the SelfAliveness and Deadness are processes that cannot be captured, only symbolized within the precincts of psychology and religion. Opening under the shadow of 9 11, our new century must reassess the preciousness of life and what we are living for, what we love, and what we find worth dying for. In the face of loss and absence, we must again ask what makes us feel connected to the source of aliveness. Yet, we must also understand that feeling fully alive

Aliveness and Deadness are processes that cannot be captured, only symbolized within the precincts of psychology and religion.

Opening under the shadow of 9/11, our new century must reassess the preciousness of life and what we are living for, what we love, and what we find worth dying for. In the face of loss and absence, we must again ask what makes us feel connected to the source of aliveness. Yet, we must also understand that feeling fully alive means that we must come to fresh insight about the contrary of aliveness, which is deadness. Both aliveness and deadness are part of the same fabric of being. But how do we talk about them? Or do we leave these unnamed? For Ann Belford Ulanov, aliveness is to make something of what we hear, and to hear what we hear makes of us. Working on oneself enlarges; thus, society as psychological work and spiritual practice form a kind of social action. Our heart becomes unshuttered making new depths possible for the self and others.

Small Valet Tray Nightstand Organizer (Black)
Color: Black, Color: Black
I really love the leather look of this valet tray. It’s both stylish and functional, giving a classy touch to my nightstand while keeping small items neatly organized. The PU leather finish feels smooth, looks high-end, and the construction feels sturdy. Pros: Elegant PU leather design with a textured finish Compact 8x8 inch size fits perfectly on nightstands, dressers, or desks Multi-purpose — great for keys, watches, jewelry, remotes, or glasses Water-resistant surface makes it easy to wipe clean Adds a decorative touch while being practical Makes a thoughtful and stylish gift Cons: The sides are a little low, so bulkier items may slide out Only available in limited colors compared to some other organizers Overall, this is a really nice valet tray. It looks more expensive than it is, keeps my essentials in one place, and adds a clean, organized look to my space. Definitely worth it if you like the leather aesthetic!

I recently purchased the ZHEM Valet Tray for Men in Dark Gray, and I couldn't be happier with this product. It's become an indispensable part of my daily routine and home décor. The design and craftsmanship of this tray are outstanding. The dark gray color is elegant and complements my furniture perfectly. It's not just a valet tray; it's also a decorative piece that adds a touch of sophistication to my nightstand and dresser. The size (8x8x1.75 inches) is ideal for holding my daily essentials like my watch, perfume, keys, and even napkins. I appreciate the versatility - it serves as a decorative piece, an organizer, and a functional tray all in one! The quality is top-notch, and it feels sturdy and well-made. It's also easy to clean, which is a big plus. Overall, the Tray has exceeded my expectations. It's a stylish and functional addition to my décor, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and attractive tray for their home. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super cute landing space for keys
Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8", Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8"
I always have trouble finding my keys and so it’s been very helpful to have a dedicated spot to easily throw them in when I get home. At first I thought it would be too big but it’s the perfect size for two wallets and keys, and it’s good quality albeit a bit expensive. The gold isn’t too shiny either, it’s a nice touch and it really reduces the look of clutter on your surfaces and helps it look more organized. It also doesn’t slip around.
