The keys that speaks to us and is meant to be held. Just like turning the key in the door, just turn the keys to the dreams and visions that is written. Try not to lose the keys, but if you do, give time to the vision as it will come back.

Whenever we clean up our homes, there will always be memories. Even if it's a loved one that is not around. While getting rid of stuff, you will have that memory, whether good or bad.
