Thank you so much for sharing a small glimpse of your courageous, adventurous and rich life journey. We are blind to what really enriches; it is a part of our human condition, isn’t it.
In one of the storage facilities I used for a week or so to facilitate the process of moving, the lady manager told me that my unit was one of ELEVEN units recently emptied by a customer who had died. She never extracted anything from any of these units, she would only add.
When she died, lawyer took months to locate a niece of hers living in Canada. She would later discover that her aunt also had two homes full of things, including a car buried with stuff on top in one of the garages.
I truly grieved for that poor woman. In the real scale of things, is she far better than the man in a park bench? Many would want to grab me by the throat for proposing such blasphemous possibility, but I wonder what Jesus the philosopher would have to say about that… He lived more like the man on the bench than like the lady with the eleven 10X10s and the two homes full of things who died alone. Bless her heart.
Thank you so much for sharing.
