Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Recombobulation


     We flew in and out of the Milwaukee Airport last week.  After going through their security, we saw this sign over the chairs where you re-don your shoes, belt, watch, wallet, etc.   The ensuing chuckle made going through security a little easier and offered a bit of amnesia about the whole embarrassing full-body scan.
     Maybe we should redo our homes and add recombobulation areas....places to gather together the scattered fragments of our souls after hectic days, to regain our sanity,  to add perspective and to smile again.
