It's just a symbol for stopping and being.

So then we're going to get another job, save up to buy this thing so we can rest or we could just remove the lake house and rest now.

Okay?

Now, I was talking like this and saying, is it possible that to change this metric, we need to change this metric?

And is it possible that we have right now every single thing we've ever hoped and dreamed for and everything we've ever needed or wanted?

And is it possible that for the rest of our lives, all we have to do is sit still and love the people around us and love each other and never strive for another thing?

And do you know what sweet Abby said?

I was telling you backstage, she looked at me and she goes, her face was just like ashen.

And she goes, I feel like you're talking about end of life stuff.

But you guys, I think that was so important that she said that.

I think capitalism has fooled us so much that if we actually start talking about enoughness, it sounds like death.

Like people only have enough right before they die.

That's when you get to rest.

That's when you get to stop.

That cannot be right.

This whole idea, this whole like Western idea, the expansion, the more, the stuff we see playing out on the news, which is greed and more and all that, it's in us too.

Like the agency that we have might not be that we can stop them, but we can stop us.

We can stop this shit.

We can get this out of ourselves.

We can say, okay, maybe the American dream, the problem was the dream.
