You Haul

Today I got a special ride, in an ambulance. My friend Butterfly is a medic and corralled one to get my stuff to the storage space! We got some strange looks from the storage people, but nothing is unheard of in NY. The piece de resistance for us was when we rolled my dresser (the last piece) in on a stretcher - a properly theatrical finish to a long day of hauling stuff down stairs. I shot some footage of the dresser’s finest moment. Everything I ‘need’ seems to fit in a suitcase and a guitar case. I noticed when I locked the dark storage room and missed nothing, I don’t really need any of those things. Strange how when we settle into a place we decorate to make things ‘homey’, but when we’re travelling, or when I am, the last thing I miss is my stuff - I miss my friends, my food, my neighborhood, but not my stuff. Maybe it’s not this way for everyone. Probably not in fact, or the road would be jammed with people just tooling around - a whole world of nomads rather than just a few of us dreamers.
Speaking of dreams, tomorrow night I fly to Shannon.
