I just recently discovered TheBurningHouse.com and I am blown away by the simple and yet beautiful concept of it. The Burning House is a site where one can go to submit a photograph of everything he/she would grab in the event of a house fire. Under the photo, there is a list/description of the items and often a few stories about the items.
At first, when I found the name and concept of the site, I thought it might be a little depressing....but in fact, once I visited, I realized that the impact was the exact opposite! Each photo tells the story of a person and his or her life and even more, I realized that we all have so much in common and the items that we cherish are quite simple.
It is actually quite inspiring. We don't require nearly as much as we are told we require for a full life! We are barraged with images and messages every day on television and in magazines that convince us that we need thousands of products and possessions to live the good life.
Not so much....when it comes down to it, we grab the cat, our kids, some photos and an old cork from a special bottle of wine. Beautiful.....
What would you grab in the event of a house fire?
To the The Burning House, thank you for the inspiration.
