Like, do you actually think that you standing here is going to change the administration or change the war?

And he said, oh, I don't come here every night to change them.

I come here every night so that they don't change me.

So whatever is you, like whatever is the thing that makes you feel like life is worth living, whether it's art or being with friends or dancing or

single candle, like whatever is that dance for you, you must do it each day.

Because this whole slide we're in will require people to forget how precious life is.

That is the slide.

That is the slow deadening thing we feel in all our bones right now where the rage that we had, which was proof of life, is now settling in and we don't even feel that rage proof of life anymore.

We just feel this lead settling into our

blood that feels like a chill and is like scary as shit, we have to get the fire back.

And I think we do that through our little candlelight personal vigils each day.

Yeah.

And the shadow stuff, like I feel right now that the sadness that people feel or the anger or the confusion right now, I feel like brokenheartedness is a badge of honor.

I don't feel to me like my sadness or my anger or my

bafflement at what is going on is a shadow I feel like it's proof of the beauty inside me because it's like if there's something happening in the outer world and you're rejecting that that is because you have an inner vision of something truer and more beautiful if you're not rejecting that that's because that's that's okay with you that's the vision so for me that this is why sometimes artists have such a

Deep sadness.

You know, people are always like, why are artists always addicts?

Which, all my friends are artists, and I can confirm that is true.

But there's a correlation of numbing sadness, right?

It's because there's a great sadness.
