| 0:09.0 | Bonjour, this is Kimberly Wilson, recording from Out in the Woods in West Virginia, |
| 0:14.9 | and I'm here to share my year in review, so musings by me. |
| 0:24.5 | So no interview this week. I'm going to share the final essay of this year's 52 weeks of Tranquility program, which is something I actually dreamed up |
| 0:30.4 | a year ago now when I was out here and then have spent the past year, providing these essays |
