EP296: A Plastic Bag Drifting Through The Wind

EP296: A Plastic Bag Drifting Through The Wind

In the words of Katy Perry, " Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?" The lyricism of Katy's hit single ring throughout this episode... like if you drop a plastic bag outside, maybe pick it up? Don't be a POS. Channeling our inner emptiness can help us push through something difficult, like climbing a mountain. Sometimes, if you just don't think and float along, the next thing you know, "hey, I'm on top of a mountain!" And lastly, I can't think of a better metaphor for the current republican party- a useless piece of trash filled with hot air, blotting the landscape.

Enjoy, you POS's
