01

Stuff stopped arriving, and peace started. Almost immediately.

02

There are no boxes by the door. No cardboard pile I keep meaning to break down.

03

Nothing waiting to be unpacked, assessed, kept or returned before some deadline.

04

The doorstep got boring. It turns out boring was what I was looking for.

The rest of the shelf
