I had a startling realization recently, looking around my bedroom: I live in a box.
Then I thought: come to think of it, we all live in boxes.
We make boxes to connect our boxes, hallways and more, so we’re in a bigger box nearly all the time, and in no danger of being boxless or even temporarily un-boxed.
We get in a box with wheels to go to our bigger multi-box box to work.
Sometimes we all go out to dinner in the same box.
Aliens must think human psychology is weird and fascinating.

Hey Palyne – I love all your blogs – there’s a wonderfull warmth and curiosity to you. I love the way you pitched the human condition as a conundrum of boxes – spot on. Sphere’s would be much nicer – no pokey little corners to get our minds stuck !
Are you old enough? …Little Boxes by Pete Seeger
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
There’s a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same
And the people in the houses
All went to the university
They were all placed in boxes
And came out all the same
And there’s doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
