I Went Into the Garage to Retrieve an Old Toolbox
We decided it was best to call a professional to safely handle the situation. Watching the process brought a sense of relief, but it also left a lasting impression. Since that day, I’ve become more aware of the hidden spaces around our home and how easily they’re forgotten. The experience reminded me that nature doesn’t announce itself loudly; it works patiently, often right beside us. Now, whenever I pass the garage, I pause—not with fear, but with awareness. It’s a reminder that even familiar spaces can hold quiet stories, waiting to be noticed when we finally take the time to look.
