If you’re a regular listener to the podcast then you know that we haven’t produced our regular episodes for the past few weeks. And if you follow us on Instagram or get our email newsletters then you know the reason why.

On May 27th, my studio laptop was stolen.

In light of this event and feeling disoriented, I began to study the word 'orient.'

I discovered that ‘orient’ means to arrange something as to face east. The implication is to look in the direction of the sunrise. To be disoriented then means a time of darkness. And to be reoriented means looking past the darkness to a rising sun. ⁣ ⁣

This short update is an encouragement for anyone who has felt themselves disoriented or interrupted.
