packaged

Today, like many other days recently, our world became increasingly more consensed and less spread out. More boxes went into storage, and a few more things were given away or sold. Knowing that over the next 12 months, both of our worldly possessions will be totally packaged and, for the most part, will be within a short reach is a crazy thought. Everything neatly organized. The bare essentials of our kitchen--one Tupperware bin and a cooler; our bedroom--one Tupperware and a bag; Bathroom?--you guessed it, a small plastic bin and couple small shaving kits. Shoes--a ratty old duffle bag.

We will be a compact unit of essentials and resources. As the days clip past, and the snapshots of a new world begin to fill the volumes of our daily ins and outs. sharing little discoveries and the colorful intricacies of a different life will, most assuredly, give us a fresh perspective on life and the way it should be lived.
