Host Laurie Brown writes thought-provoking scripts set to ambient scores by Joshua Van Tassel. We dive beneath discomfort, into the mundane, and examine the sky.

This episode is about shifting gears:
From slow to fast
From anxious to ease
From thinking to action
From present to future.
Change is coming...not fast enough for many of us...too fast for others...it is dizzying.
Dealing with Covid-19 is like learning to sail while in a storm on the ocean. Everyone is making mistakes and changing direction to try and keep afloat.

Here we are...week whatever of lockdown. This episode should be buried in the backyard as a time capsule of what this time has been like.
As I wildly swing between optimism for a changed future and desperation at our situation at this moment, I am hearing (and feeling) the deep struggle that many of us are suffering through.
We are following our instincts here on Pondercast. We want to create episodes you can use during this surreal COVID-19 lock down.
Well. When I started thinking and writing about this episode...COVID-19 wasn't a pandemic. This episode is called Thinking Time, Pondercast's first episode to address what is coming up as we all struggle to adapt to massive change.
