Mickey is streamlining possessions, and passing on meaningful items to loved ones in person while he can. What one keeps, shares, and lets go of is explored, along with an idea that some things we’ve cherished can carry a part of us within them. Life lessons on the impermanence of the material world, and the lightness that comes from releasing–not relinquishing–what we’ve collected.
A one-two punch of hypothermia and the loss of a friend finds Mickey in a bout with pneumonia. True to form, he pushes on in support of the community and the causes he champions. An opportunity to broadcast his love of music with the help of talented friends underscores how Mickey’s making the most out of his compressed calendar, and this interesting stage of life.
