All in life

life

A week ago, as I arrived in an empty office and put on my headphones, three swallows dipped past my window. They weren't the first I had seen this year, but as the room was empty and the music on my headphones seemed to fit their flight, I imagined they were there for me. They were carrying a message. A change in the air. I sat still for a moment and watched them.

At some point in my life, I evolved into a guy who's always lugging around a backpack. It started with a book and a moleskine, and as my journeys became more and more infused infested with work, it became more of a mobile office. I seldom go out without my laptop, sketchbook, headphones, a jumble of cables, magazines, usb sticks, chargers, etc.
