Okay, here we are brought together via digital audio in the asynchronous universe of the interwebs that we are now plugged into most of the time.

This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. How are you, whoever you are?

If this is your first time listening to the show, I want to welcome you.

Everyone else, oh my, what is going on? I don't know. Does anybody know? It's certainly hard to

decipher. But I'm sure, like many of you, we're carrying on, right?

We just keep going about our days, trying to make sense of our experiences and hopefully

relate to the other people around us in meaningful ways.

It seems like the thing that most people want most right now is some sense of normalcy.

Keep hearing that phrase, a return to normalcy.

And I'm really beginning to wonder what normal is.

I mean, I've got this memory of what feels like normal,

but it doesn't really seem like we're going back to that.

And then there's that other phrase,

the new normal,

which is generally kind of scary to me.

Because whenever I hear that phrase,

the new normal usually means that we're all pretty screwed or something.

Maybe I'm just projecting that. As I said, I really have no clue what's going on.

And, you know, over the years, like doing the blog writing and stuff, I've often felt like I could get a decent read

on what was happening around me

and sometimes even in the broader world.

But right now, it just feels like we're flying blind.
