#boxing up

To let go of a connection, first you must embrace the connection. That sounds odd doesn’t it? Let me explain…

We normally embrace our idea of what the connection is, not the truth of it. This is why many of us suffer. We label the connection and therefore box it up, conditioning it and that condition becomes our reality, hiding the truth. But letting the connection play out will reveal it. This…

Like today.  All these huge heavy boxes and this terrific guy shows up, climbs up the 3 flights like nothing, and just starts taking these great big boxes down the stairs.  Like up, down, up, down, up, down.  I'm barely able to keep up, every time I turn from the window (watching for S. in the UHaul van) there's less stuff in the apartment.  

When S. comes with the van this guy we hired  was just like whoosh whoosh whoosh, getting all these boxes into the truck in the best possible way - no problem.  Like Tetris.  S. and I would have been screaming our heads off at each other.  

The guy went with S. to the UBOXes and together they stacked everything in.  I sat here, in this apartment that now echoes, and broomed up.  We have all this time ... and last week it was "we have just a week".
