Listen to this episode One of the few constants in the universe is change. It’s something I’ve brought up before but it’s on my mind once more. So much of life is a transitory experience. In childhood, the way that you think about things, how you feel, the people you meet change as you getContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 04042022.8”
