Welcome, Sleepy. Tonight we travel nowhere and everywhere. From rain-soaked Stockholm afternoons to marble statues of sorrow in the dark, from sugar-longings and beard-brushed foreheads in a monk’s TV room to the simple bewilderment of carrying too many plastic bags—this episode drifts through it all.

There will be illusions, instant gratification, loneliness, monks with “French nerves,” disappointing first kisses, and the strange normalcy of dreams after staring grief straight in the face. And all the while, I just want to be a decent person. Not perfect. Just decent.

It’s okay to feel lost. It’s okay to not know what to do with your arms. It’s okay to want to be held.

Let’s just sit here a while, in our quiet little room of sound.
