As far as material possessions go, Williams says she has had to come to terms with what she wants and what she needs. “I couldn’t have come to that understanding if I wasn’t on a diet of space,” she says. “I have nowhere to put anything, so I really have to examine everything I buy to determine where it’s going to go; am I going to use it? Can I borrow it instead? A whole new relationship to stuff has been forced on me.”This is a list of Williams’ possessions. “The only thing missing is the house,” she says. “I encourage everybody to make a list, even if it’s just your junk drawer. It’s like playing anthropologist with yourself.”
