"When you wake, after the dreams...don't be in a rush to get out of bed. Find things you can say this is here with. For me, it's scents, sounds, little indicators I can have without even moving. That's how I know I'm here and not back there."
Sometimes it's the ever faint hum of the ship's machinery. Sometimes it's the scent of the soap everyone uses to wash their laundry. Sometimes it's how big the bed is, or the absence of the scent of dust that never leaves. Always, the presence in the room of someone else, saying she's not on her own.
