TOL | The Dance, The Drift, and The Handle: How We survive the Morning After
Description
We have reached the end of the year. The bells have stopped ringing, the wrapping paper is in the bin, and we are standing on the threshold of the "Morning After." In this final Thinking Out Loud of 2025, we explore the art of survival through three powerful metaphors: The Dance, The Drift, and The Lever. We travel to Argentina to see an orderly teach a paralyzed woman that she can still lead; we float down the Amazon to discover that being lost is sometimes the only way to be found; and we stand at a well in Kenya to learn why peace is physically heavy. We ask the difficult questions: Are we tourists in our own lives, or are we pilgrims? Does the music stop just because our legs do? And what happens when we realize that the handle of survival is too heavy to lift alone? Join me for one last reflection before we turn the page to 2026.
