As I discussed in my Night Thoughts audio file, my mind is changing. An example of what is happening came the other day when Anne and I were at lunch with Dreamland co-host Marla Frees.

Marla asked me what was happening to me, and I replied that I seemed to have acquired a vast store of memories from the past. Not “big” memories, but the same sort of little bits and pieces we collect in our everyday lives. But for what seemed like hundreds of lives.
