my clothes in a box
my music from a box

using the sandals of someone in a box
i have been surviving on boxes. and i have most of my clothes in a box. even my music is coming from a smaller box. and lastly, i just received the sandals of a friend who is now in a box. and that is just stretching it a bit.
but i have no qualms. the sandals look new. hardly used, the wife said. originally, the wife gave them to my driver. my driver says it does not fit him so he said i should have them instead. and so i got them. after all, this is the footwear of a dear dead friend who loved life so much that in spite of his dreadful disease lived for a period longer than expected. that is not a bad idea at all -- loving life.
soon, the family will be moving back to our refurbished home that has become less of a box that it was.
in the meantime, off to work i go walking in a dead man's sandals, loving life as much as he did.
