• 2:09
  SPEAKER_04: I gotta watch your backback because Jose might sta kill one of us, man.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_06: Like this patch of dirt that we're sitting on is like a desert for them, dude.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_06: And then like the grass becomes this rich forest.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_06: It's like a whole a whole other city.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_06: And so many things happen on the ground and they find things and they build and they dig and there's probably tunnels right now.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_04: They're probably humans.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_04: Oh these loud ass humans right now.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_06: And they can be crushed.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_06: They're so fragile.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_06: And yet they're really resilient where they can like fall from a tree and not even just keep crawling.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_04: This guy keeps coming back, man.

  SPEAKER_04: To our little ant tunnel, man.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_06: But sing with like everything that's happening in the earth right now and like in the world that we're aware of.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_06: I don't know, like, there's just so much life happening on so many different levels.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_06: The beauty of life is just as fragile and temporary as the things that are also really difficult right now.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I get a lot of pain.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: I'd love to get rid of that.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, pain electro, I'm gonna hide it.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: The bad people that judge me, they're horrible.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_06: And they're also kind of happening simultaneously.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: My family, they're the good in my life.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_06: The perspective of insanity that is right now, there is also this other side that is happening.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_06: It just might be a little bit more quiet.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_05: So last night when you were crying with your son, it was beautiful.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_06: The tea stand is put up, it's taken down every day.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_06: There's things that happen in between.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_06: Potentially difficult interactions, like nothing is over until it's over, and even then that's an ending is like the start of something else.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_06: There is so much destruction that we're seeing, and being able to hold that is hold isn't the word I want to use, but observe it and be a part of it and interact with it.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_06: The desire for a beautiful world is so powerful amongst us right now.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_06: I hear about that all the time.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_05: I imagine a world where there's a lot of fruit trees everywhere, and we climb them, and we ask each other questions, like real questions that we're scared to ask.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_07: I first met him, like he had like a tiny little table outside on uh Ocklandic Avenue years ago and he was by himself, and now like look at it.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_07: He's seen the evolution of the community, and so to me, I'm like it's happening because that's the desire.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_06: That's I don't know, it's like the death of this empire is happening literally amongst our very eyes, and it looks like people grabbing for power as much as they can because they s potentially sense it falling away.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_04: I feel like we can't fully get rid of the bad stuff, but we could do things to kind of transmute the bad stuff into uh the good uh good things.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_05: How do we transmute it?
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_04: By drinking tea.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_06: That's simple is simple.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_06: And the stronger desire for people to have a world that they really believe in, I suspect it could be the closer that we're coming to it.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_07: It's my how about my stuff is gonna go into the god every day.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: You know what else is it?
