In a remote desert landscape I happened upon a house. I knock on the door and a grayed haired woman answers and lets me in hesitantly. The house has very high ceilings with sky lights and houses various treasures. She starts to make me tea. 4 old, wooden and laminate chests catch my eye. They are protected by glass. They seem very old. They are small with many drawers. As I get close to one, it opens, begins to move and makes sound. She says, " don't get too close!" I'm amazed, " what are they?" They are old tea boxes. Chinese. "And they open when you are close?" I say. "Yes." Just then, there is a knock on the door. She looks worried. I go to the door and open it a crack. It's Randy and some friends. I say, "welcome." "Welcome, haha," he laughs and shakes his head, seemingly amused that I am there. They come inside. We have found sanctuary.
