Infos

Imagine sitting in a cafe, sharing a running
conversation with a good friend about all
the wonderful things life has brought to
your table. You’re probably also sharing
a piece of freshly baked apple pie as you
discuss this book that both of you have just
finished reading. All the stuff in your life
that you’ve been holding onto becomes part
of the conversation. Collections of comic books,
closets filled with long-forgotten but still-loved stuff, and even the
rock collection in the back of your sock drawer comes alive through
the stories that “The Eternal Life of Stuff” hands to you. Where has
all your stuff gone? Did you give it to charity or sell it at a yard
sale? Maybe you simply lost it. All this is what this book is about.
Even more, it illuminates something of greater value than the things
you’ve collected. This book shines the bright light of conversation
into the sometimes-dim corners of memory. “The Eternal Life of
Stuff” – sometimes sad, but mostly uplifting and full of humor – is
about experiencing the energy of memory. During a lull in this cafe
conversation, your friend asks, “Please pass the sugar?” You happily
comply, and as you do, your hands briefly touch. Yet,
it is enough, and your conversation continues.
This book is that sweet. You both get up to
leave, and the conversation lingers in your
memories, adding a beautiful layer of depth
and meaning to your friendship. This is the
really good stuff that binds you together. It is
the stuff that reminds you what is important
and what is not; the stuff that lives, not just
in the hearts of these two imagined friends, but
in all hearts – eternally.
