Of course, we might not all know where we came from, and
we have to make allowances for that. You might be adopted,
but you were raised somewhere. Whatever your circum-
stances, you will have something that makes you feel
grounded if you look for it. It doesn’t have to be where you
were born and raised. If you are really struggling, then it’s pos-
sible to create yourself a new base. Anywhere that makes you
feel secure is fine.
We all need time with people or in places where we can be
ourselves, where we don’t have to explain, justify, provide
background or give a good impression. That’s the joy of touch-
ing base—being somewhere you are accepted without
question and everything around you reminds you of what’s
really important. Touching base is something that, when we
do it, we wonder why on earth we left it so long.
BASE IS WHERE YOU WERE
BEFORE YOU GOT LOST.
