1 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with 2 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: Me your Girl, Danielle Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks, 3 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: It's been now two weeks over a little over two 4 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: weeks since the election, and I, like so many people, 5 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: are still in a place of vacillating between grief and 6 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: despair and anger and deep frustration at who America is. 7 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: Like you who listen to this show, I wanted to 8 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: believe that we had learned something over the last four years, 9 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: that we had learned something, not just about Donald Trump, 10 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: but about ourselves and what it was that was driving 11 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: us as citizens of this country. And what I realize, 12 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: as I'm still kind of coming out of the haze 13 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: of post election despair, is that you can only grow 14 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: to as far of a place as you're willing to 15 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: move outside of your comfort zone. What do I mean 16 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: by that? I mean that many of Americans are incredibly 17 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: comfortable with just being concerned with themselves and the thought 18 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: behind rugged individualism, like to each their own, I do me, 19 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm an island onto myself. All of these kinds of 20 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: selfishness in behavior has largely been celebrated in this country, 21 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: and it also is what is a let us to 22 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: this current moment. You see in other countries and other 23 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: with other communities, folks really do think about the collective. 24 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: I remember seeing videos of young people in Japan, like 25 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: elementary school kids in Japan, taking the trains by themselves, 26 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: and they wear like these little vests, and you know, 27 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: it's like, oh my God, like look at this place. 28 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: It's just so safe that these little kids are able 29 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 1: to just you know, be on the trains by themselves. No, 30 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: it's that their society decided collectively that the kids are 31 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: everyone's responsibility, whether you know them or not. They created 32 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: a village mindset where they weren't just going to look 33 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: the other way, that they were going to care for 34 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: one another. And that is I think the big deficiency 35 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: of America is that we have never looked at our 36 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: communities and said, how can I better this place? How 37 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: can I build a greater foundation. No, it has always 38 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: been about the me, me, me, look at my big house, 39 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,399 Speaker 1: look at my stuff, right that Like it is about 40 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: my wealth. It is about how I'm building wealth for myself, 41 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: for my family. It has nothing, it has had nothing 42 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: to do with the collective. We have in so many 43 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: ways criminalize poverty in so many ways, we turn the 44 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: rich into deities. So the other day I am on 45 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: social media and a post about Kim Kardashian comes up, 46 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: and she had posted on social media her new Tesla 47 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: robot that she has gotten. Because Kim Kardashian is a 48 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: multi billionaire. And we've watched over the last twenty years 49 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: of reality TV, this entire family go from being normal 50 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: wealthy living in Beverly Hills, you know, with big houses, 51 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: to exceedingly disgustingly wealthy. They went from oh, look at 52 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: my nice truck, to look at my fleet, to look 53 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: at my private jet, to look at my compound. And 54 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: I was watching this and I'm just like, how out 55 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: of touch can one person be? But is it out 56 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: of touch? Because this level of hyper consumerism, this level 57 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: of absolute greed and over consumption, is what made her 58 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: wealthy in the family wealthy in the first place. And 59 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: all of those that watch, whether they hate watch or 60 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: love watch, those that are aspiring to that level of 61 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: distance from reality where there are people right now that 62 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: are crying, that are desperate, that are so scared about 63 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: what happens after Donald Trump takes power, what happens to 64 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: them and their families and their livelihood. And she's on 65 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: social media playing with a robot. And I'm not just 66 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: calling out her, I'm calling out like the uber wealthy, 67 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: that we have gifted them with our attention and our resources, 68 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: because instead of us filling our own communities and creating connectedness, 69 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: creating our real life safety nets, we sit around with 70 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: scratch offs and with our dollar bills, and you know, 71 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: and our hopes and dreams of having a lottery moment 72 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: that will propel us away from community, that will put 73 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: us in an entire ironly different orbit where we don't 74 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: have to be responsible for anything or anyone other than ourselves. 75 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: It's that mentality, that separateness, that allowed us to be 76 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: torn farther apart by the lies and the disinformation that 77 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: was used to further divide us. And so now out 78 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: of time, when the uber wealthies, their wealth has just 79 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: ballooned to astronomical levels, all I can think about, folks, 80 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: is the term eat the rich, because people are not 81 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: even prepared for the scarcity, the austerity and the pain 82 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: that Elon Musk promised before the election that is now 83 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: going to be realized. That you've given yourself over too 84 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: and so as I'm emerging from this haze, what I 85 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: realize is that we need more community, not less. We 86 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: need to rely on each other more, not less. We're 87 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: not going to survive as just these individual islands. We're 88 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: going to need each other now more than ever, and 89 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: we're going to have to choose to divest from the 90 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: things that actually are making us sick. And that isn't 91 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: just about divesting from bad food and adding in more movement, right, 92 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: That isn't just about divesting from the obvious, but also 93 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: the insidious. And what do I mean by that? I 94 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: mean that our consumption of twenty four hour cable news 95 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: that is in place solely to lie to us, that 96 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: is in place solely to feed the need and the 97 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: greed of CEOs and shareholders at the expense of everyone else. 98 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: Just this week we've watched as Joe Scarsbrough and Mika 99 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: Brazinski go tomorrow Lago to kiss the ring of Donald Trump. 100 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: They are indicative of how corporate media is going to 101 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: move in the times of fascism. They're going to hail 102 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, saying wash him and normalize at the expense 103 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: of all of us. They're going to gaslight in a 104 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: way that has us believe that, oh well, because the 105 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: uber wealthy are doing okay, and maybe some of the 106 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: people that they throw a bone to in their own 107 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: little fiefdoms are able to keep their heads above water, 108 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: then things are not as bad. But trust me, friends, 109 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: it's going to get absolutely fucking bad. And so are 110 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: you going to believe the bullshit that they're going to 111 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: dish out or are you going to start to rely 112 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: on our knowing that we need community and wholeness and 113 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: hopefulness more so than we need their outside agitation and bullshit. 114 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: So I say truly to divest. Divest from cable news, 115 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: Divest from those things that actually do not serve you 116 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: and feed you. Divest from social media to the extent 117 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: that you find yourself doom scrolling. Turn off the alerts 118 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: that tell you Donald Trump woke up today and today 119 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: he's appointed you know, Jack in the box to lead 120 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: x Y and widgets and things. Now, folks will say 121 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: to me, will Danielle, how am I gonna stay in tune? 122 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: You can choose what you consume when you consume it, 123 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: and then spend the rest of your time actually working 124 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: to build what it is that you need. People keep 125 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: asking me, what does resistance look like? What should I do? 126 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: What do you feel? No one in this moment can 127 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: honestly tell you how to feel and what to do. 128 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: Folks need to tap in to themselves their own timelines. 129 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: This is the thing I'll share with y'all because I 130 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: tell you will find me on good days, you will 131 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: find me on bad days. I am a full fledged 132 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: human being. And one of the things that I realized 133 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: over the weekend is that I have been consumed with 134 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: operating on Mauga's timeline. What does that mean? It means 135 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: that I haven't missed an appointment announcement, I haven't missed 136 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: a move that has been made, or legislation that is 137 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: up for vote, or all of these things. And I'm 138 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: just anxious with anticipation of what is the next horrific 139 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: thing that is going to be announced? How is that 140 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: serving me? And I know that it's not serving all 141 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: of you. We need to operate on our timeline, not 142 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: following theirs. So it looks like, what are the books 143 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: that I need to be reading. What is the nourishment 144 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: for my mind, body and soul that I need in 145 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: this moment? Because following their every move has me standing still. 146 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: We can't follow every bad thing, share every bad thing. 147 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: My girlfriend asked me the other day after I'd had 148 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: a terrible day, She said, what was you know? Did 149 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: you have one good conversation today? Did you have like 150 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: one meaningful connection? And I hadn't. Every conversation that I 151 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: had had been steeped in bullshit, had been steeped in darkness, 152 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: every fucking conversation, so much so that by the time 153 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: I had finally logged off from the Daniel Moody Show, 154 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: obviously it's dark outside, but I hadn't gone outside all day. So, 155 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 1: in recognizing that I had had no nourishment for my soul, 156 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: no connection that wasn't about the heinousness that is happening, 157 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: put on my sneakers, put on my jacket, opened my door, 158 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: and just went for a walk, to walk around my neighborhood, 159 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: take in some air on my face, and just move. 160 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: Because operating on their timeline has had me stand still 161 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: and been glued to social media in fear of missing something, 162 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: And what I'm actually missing is myself. I Ever, so 163 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: often folks get reminded that, like, while I am grateful 164 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: for the work that I do and I'm grateful for 165 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: the opportunities that I have. That it also can become 166 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: all consuming and dark and sad, and I tell myself, well, 167 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: this is your job, this is what you signed up for. No, 168 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: it is not. No, it is not one hundred moons ago. 169 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: When I decided to go into politics, it was because 170 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: I really wanted to help people, because I really wanted 171 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: When I was in high school taking ap government in 172 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: politics and I said, I want to go to school 173 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: and I want to major in political science, it was 174 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: because I really wanted for people to understand how government 175 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: works for them and against them, what their role was. 176 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to understand the ins and outs. I didn't 177 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: get into politics because AI was pawed hungry, or because 178 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to be rich, because certainly this ain't the 179 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: place to be unless, of course, you are on the 180 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: wrong side, which is totally funded by so many oligarchs 181 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: and so many billionaires. But the fact is is that 182 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: it is so easy to lose sight of what is 183 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: it that people actually need in this moment, because what 184 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,239 Speaker 1: you don't need is a blow by blow of everything 185 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: bad that is happening. What you do need is to 186 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: know a little bit and nourish a whole lot. That's 187 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: how we're going to get through. And that is not 188 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: about burying your head in the sand, as I talk 189 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: about political ostriches. No, it is about understanding in yourself 190 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: what can I control right? What can I actually do? 191 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: So sending people? Did you see this bed thing? Did 192 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: you see that bad thing? Did you see that? Take 193 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: a pause for a moment and say, what's the purpose 194 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: and the intent behind this? Is it to educate? Is 195 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: it to create anxiety and fear? Am I doing something 196 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: that is actually of service? Am I offering a service? 197 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: Or am I just spreading my anxiety around? These are 198 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: the questions that I am asking myself as of late 199 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: to figure out what is the pivot, the transition that 200 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: I need to make as we head into the dark ages. 201 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: Because I have said on this program and on others, 202 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: I will do this work for as long as it 203 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: remains safe and legal, because truly I do not want 204 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: harm to come to my family or friends because of 205 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: the work that I do. So there will be decisions 206 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: that I will need to make as things become clearer. 207 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: I am not obeying in advance, I am not bending 208 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: the knee. But so long as I find my work 209 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: to be of service to others. I will continue to 210 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: do it. It may not be in this country, but 211 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: I feel like we all have to be asking ourselves. 212 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:25,359 Speaker 1: Is what I'm offering to others nourishing? Is it helpful? 213 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: And sometimes it is helpful to them, It is helpful 214 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: to just like let out that primal scream. And other 215 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: times it is just adding more fuel and devastation on 216 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: the fire that is not needed. Sometimes, friends, when things 217 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: burn down, you find yourself with an opportunity to rebuild. 218 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: And let me say this, not all of us are 219 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: going to make it to that rebuilding stage. That is 220 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: what Stefan offered last week in our interview. Not everybody's 221 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: going to make it, much like everyone did not make 222 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: it through COVID, Everyone did not make it through the 223 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: Nazi regime. Everyone did not make it through South Africa's apartheid. 224 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: Everybody did not make it through Stalin. We have to 225 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: understand that and know that. But what are we leaving behind? 226 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: What are we offering in this moment that can actually 227 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: be of service. That's what I want us to start 228 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: spending our time and our energy on, because without community, 229 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: without real life connection, the weight of what is coming 230 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: will crush us. This is why I consistently talk about fortifying, 231 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,479 Speaker 1: and I say it to you as much as I 232 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: say it to myself, because yesterday I had to peel 233 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: myself up off the floor and force my self outside 234 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: for fresh air, for connection. And then other days I 235 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: just let myself be, be exhausted, be sad. But then 236 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 1: I reach out. I reach out to my friends, I 237 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: reach out to my family, and I think about what 238 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: I can do for all of you that listen, that follow, 239 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: and I need for all of us to be thinking 240 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: more about the collective and less about our individualized pain 241 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: and frustration and grief, and thinking, what is my offering 242 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: in this moment? How can my service be a lantern 243 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: in these dark times? That is it for me today, 244 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: Dear friends, on woke af as always, Power to the 245 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: people and to all the people. Power, Get woke and 246 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: stay woke as fuck.
