This is a photograph by Hiroshi Sugimoto. We love his work. Google the man.
We have not had Blue sky in a long time here. The rains and overcast skies have been relentless. Thousands of Filipinos are losing homes and livelihoods because of floods and lack of relief.
In my own home, it feels like an evacuation center, without the evacuees. All things are consolidated to the middle of the house. A result of packing to move and avoiding leaks from all the rain. We have a fairly spacious house, but right now we have taken refuge in the area adjacent to the front garden's steps. It's got a couch, an electric fan, a tv, and lots of plants. Oh and a bell I ring every morning. They are all we've used in the last two weeks.
Makes me want to give away the rest of our things. We've got too many beds for one. And too many tables. And too many suitcases. And too many .... Really who needs twenty-four beer glasses?
How much do we really need to live comfortably? What can we do away with and hand over to people who really need?
