About this episode
We all go through it. We're so consumed by work, play, dreams, far away wishes and too many commands. The cup is so full that it's become too easy to get lost and confused. You wake up from a simple catnap and your mind can't instantly plant you in a place of easy recognition. The sweats set in. You begin to doubt and quite possible feel fear. It takes longer than normal to readjust your awareness only to realize it was a moment of disconnection that felt like a completely different direction. With our amazing ways of staying in touch with those we love and create with. We keep protective eyes on the steps that make up the circle. But when something doesn't look or feel right it becomes too easy to forget about their existence. You can't say this is what it's like when you get older. My grandson walks the same trail when he wakes up. How do you prepare for this? The body is already beaten down by the everyday world. It doesn't need mental departures to add to the confusion. I lose my keys a lot. So I started placing them in the same location every time with my wallet and everything else required to be carried. Can we leave objects of recognition to bring us back safer? Then it hit me. It's not a trinket that's required. It's something much larger than a breadbox.
