Curious Cat
Curious Cat explores the shadowy space where science and the supernatural collide. Join us every week as we examine what it means to be a soul in a meat suit. The moments that prickle your skin, cause the hair to rise on the back of your neck: a kiss of chill air in a haunted space: a flash of déjà vu; a knowing when you step into a new place; a sense of connectedness to something bigger as the sun sets behind the mountains. These are the moments that cause us to wonder if there is more to this existence than what we can graze with our fingertips. *All Curious Cat content is owned and operated by Storm Mystery Press LLC

The Magic of In-Between & Curious Queue #7
When pondering, debating, writing or planning our focus tends fall to the extremes; this or that, which means we ignore the stuff in-between. It probably traces back to some survival mechanism our ancestors developed to determine what foods were safe to eat, what passages were too risky to travel, where we might be safe to sleep at night, and what hours of the day to do which behaviors.
But like the ego, which we've discussed in past episodes, maybe it's time for a human upgrade. In fact, maybe the biggest breakthroughs in humanity lie in that juicy in-between space.
On a recent trip to Chicago with my mom, our in between time was where the magic happened. Forgotten stories from her childhood and young adulthood were shared. As we rode in the back seat of an Uber to the ballpark, or home from a museum, or on our way to a river boat tour, well, that's when, with the city scrolling past the windows, my mother's deep memories came forward. I want YOU to benefit from the magic of in between, too.
Not just by taking advantage of the time and space between Points A and B, but also by paying attention during all the moments.
Let's get into it!
