Episode Details

There is a particular hour that lives between the end of one day and the beginning of the next. It is late enough that the world outside has gone still, and early enough that the new day has not yet announced itself. Somewhere in that narrow space, many of us find ourselves suddenly, inexplicably awake. Not startled, not panicked. Just awake. And in that wakefulness, a question surfaces. It arrives without invitation, without warning, rising from some place beneath the noise we carry through our waking hours. The question is this: is this all there is? Not the words themselves, necessarily. Sometimes it wears a different coat. Sometimes it sounds like am I on the right path, or why does it feel like something is missing, or what am I actually doing with my one wild and precious life. But underneath the particular phrasing, there is a common thread.
