"Remember who you wanted to be." (Bumper sticker in Cedar today.)
Remember and go fearlessly. Remember. Remember and shiver. But, remember. Remember and smile and hearing a Stevie Wonder song play in your ear and tap your toe. Remember. Remember and laugh at how far you have come, how off the mark the dart, and laugh and laugh some more.
Here is my compass. Here is my map. What direction did I want to go, again? Along the way, maybe the compass, oriented for Mars, you landed and lacking gravity, your feet would not stick to earth and you levitated far above--you were no longer grounded. Hovering there, you looked around and checked the compass at it had sorta gone bonkers: needle spinning, complete mess. So there you are with your map and your compass and your feet lacking gravity boots and you have no direction. Mars is a strange place when you have no bearings, you have no direction.
Next step: Orientating self. Acclimate. Establish location. Adapt.
