Horcrux

Eric says I created my first Horcrux: I sent a box of cuttings from my garden to my british twin, Claire. A sort of ark, so that when leaving I can feel that my garden still has a tenuous link to my life.
Of course it is not true. I mean, it is not my first horcrux. There is already "Sharp Edge", my favourite painting ever. That, I think will stay with my mother. And the Bottles. And the Wizard Staff. I always felt my things where my only true home. I am ready now, to challenge this feeling, and go out in the world with nothing but the essential, and yet, yet Icannot just dump everything. Too much of my soul has gone into some of the things I made. My garden, my paintings, the lost, lost splendour of my house. I need to leave some things behind, to be found again, pehaps, one day.
