• 3:51
  SPEAKER_05: How beautiful it can be amidst all of the suffering that that exists right now.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's hard to even differentiate it from like consciousness itself.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's the way we exist in the world and how our experiences um flow through the world in terms of love, work, learning, just any angle of experience you can think of is directed by attention.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_03: How do we choose that?
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_06: It's like five speakers.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_02: The reason why the sound pollution of New York has never gotten to me is because there's something so comforting about it.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_02: If it's a day of like intense sadness or just like, I don't know, there's not much capacity in you.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_02: Like there's so much sound everywhere.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: It's nice to wake up to the birds and hear them.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: And it's also nice to hear the car driving by and like the sounds of the basketball on the pavement.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't know, it feels necessary.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_02: I like the silent moments, but then I'm also like, I don't know, I need like the fullness.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_02: It's okay to also not catch everything that's passing by and just focus in on one thing.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: Like you know when there's like a branch and then there's like a little bud that's there, and it's like you know something's gonna bloom.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_02: And this is kind of like that, like the creation or the intention of something, where it's like someone's just walking through the park and then they stop and they'll have tea, and it's like that was a thing in their day.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_02: It hasn't quite yet formed, but it's there.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like the promise and the possibility is the form.
• 6:41

  SPEAKER_02: Like, I'm gonna be okay.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: Which is so like ridiculous and like kind of cheesy and cliche, but like it's true.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_02: I think if you're not doing that, then it's like everything feels so much more intense.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: And now that I'm sitting here, I'm like, it's fine.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_02: Like, it's I'm doing the things I need to do, and they don't have to be perfect.
