🌿 “Early Sunday morning when everything is quiet, the streets are empty and no one is around, a small beat up rental truck is parked in front of an apartment building. The back is open and one glance at what’s inside says someone must be moving house. A mushroom-colored couch and three nondescript wooden chairs, a few lamps, a children’s desk, an old stereo system are all carefully, strategically arranged in there. Someone’s small kingdom is picking up stakes and moving across town. You see these scenes often. Sometimes a couple are loading brown cardboard boxes full of books and knicknacks into a truck, a van, or an already full car. Or a woman with unkempt hair holds a tall plant in her arms, waiting for her man to slide things around inside to make room for it. Maybe they can get everything arranged in one load and not have to make two trips. Your whole life, all your possessions, everything you own,bought, have amassed is in the back of that small truck or on the backseat of your Subaru and crammed into the trunk. Even after you’re finished loading, despite all the work getting it there, it doesn’t look like much. Kind of puts things into perspective.”🌿
