  SPEAKER_02: A lot of times kids just have like concrete and they're so creative with what they do with that.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_07: All the kids that come up are so genuinely curious about what's going on.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_07: They have they have a little bit of the mistrust that they've inherited from our culture and their parents, and I treat it like it's the most natural thing in the world, and they're like, oh, of course, give me the mystery box.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_07: Of course we're gonna have some free tea together right now.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_07: It doesn't take so much time to ease in as it does with adults.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_03: I think I'm a group of teenagers who were like kind of like rough housing, like running around and like pushing each other, all stopped and lined up and asked for tea.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_03: And it was kind of like the energy shift between them like yelling and being super intense and then like gently asking me if I would make them a cup of tea and like what kind they would like was such a crazy shift.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_04: See, the music is all around you.
• 2:48

  SPEAKER_05: Like we were talking about birds and the trees and the and the weather, the the rain.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_02: When I think of rain, I think a lot of home.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: I was born in Waras Peru, which is like the mountain parts of Ancash, and my parents would always get so happy when it rained because they sold the rain boots.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_02: So every time it rained, we would always eat yummy food and like celebrate.

  SPEAKER_02: I love seeing like the little sparkles that the rain produces when it hits a puddle of water.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: See some beautiful images of sound manipulating water, and a friend of mine reminded me that that's what's happening to your blood when you listen to music as ripples are going through you.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_02: I really like the starter brain.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_02: It feels very silly and joyful and playful.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_03: When you're like getting free tea from someone or they're asking me about like why I want to do this, like this gets to something like pretty like deep into like who I am or like what I value in a way that like is not small talk, but also is like the first thing we're saying to each other.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_03: Hello.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_03: Can I get some tea?
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_03: I also think this is the thing that people like put off so much is just like the being like in communion with others.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_03: It's so easy to be like that comes last.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_03: I am so impressed by the people who are like, like Miles was saying, people who have come every day.

  SPEAKER_03: What type of thing is?
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_03: I guess my biggest surprise has been that people want to sit and talk.

• 6:05
  SPEAKER_03: Like like there's not as much tension in my chest as there normally is, which is kind of cool.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_03: Because I think that it's just like I spend a whole day doing what I want to do instead of doing what other people want me to do.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_03: I would do this every day if I could.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_03: It's kind of the perfect way to spend the day.
