One good thing about moving the bookcases is that you find little treasures you forgot you had. This is from a little volume on Zen that has a section of haikus. So many of these little poems don't really travel well between cultures. But, some do.
Where there are humans
You will find flies,
And Bhuddas.

Finding those little treasures always leaves me lounging on the sofa for the rest of the day and never really moving the bookcases. --Cin
