BURDENS & BLESSINGS: Living with a Tethered Cord (TCS)

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:07]What do I do? What do I do?

[00:00:10]I've got a day.

[00:00:15]I think this thing still works.

[00:00:21]Enough to walk around.

[00:00:25]Go shopping.

[00:00:30]Go to the beach.

[00:00:32]Spend time with friends.

[00:00:40]And learn.

[00:00:47]An all embracing wisdom.

[00:00:54]This is exactly where I'd like to be.

[00:00:58]Where I need to be.

[00:01:02]Where I am.

[00:01:07]This beach is littered with spirals.

[00:01:13]Towels.

[00:01:16]Stars.

[00:01:20]And individuality.

[00:01:25]But I left in a hurry.

[00:01:30]Thinking I pooped myself.

[00:01:33]After eating a whole tin of anchovies.

[00:01:37]And chugging half a pint of milk.

[00:01:44]I was getting gassy.

[00:01:51]I thought I'd head home.

[00:01:53]And take care of business.

[00:01:59]Some knocking at the door.

[00:02:12]I can remember countless times I've left peace to take care of business.

[00:02:22]I remember business getting in the way of my pleasure, my joy, my laughter, friendships, lovers.

[00:02:40]But I try my best to stay clean, and I find I'm always exactly where I need to be.
