Pack lite

Graduation is finished, the move is complete for now.  Gill and I have started packing, unpacking, and packing again. Because we are carrying so little, each thing seems so important. At the same time we are preparing ourselves to let go of each item if we find that we are carrying too much.  It is a strange place to be, this space between holding on and letting go, between holding things dear and holding them as expendable. Both of us, I think, are beginning to feel the tension between relying on stuff for life and seeing it as unimportant. In the interest of packing lite, I will leave it at that.
