Original air date: Friday, May 10, 2013Episode Description:In this episode, Freeman relays an experience he had driving through a firestorm on his way into the KVTA studio (he actually drove through the area where the “Springs Fire” began, a fire which ultimately burned over 22,000 acres).

Sometime we are sort of “forced” to access or tap into our senses in intense moments. This can open us up to senses that may have been dulled. The awakening of senses can lead to profound transformation—a “new normal,” in which life, in general, becomes more vivid and alive.
