    "And I've never done this in a sort of verbal, like, sort of exemporaneous way. So I'm doing it here now. It's an experiment to play with the language of why someone would love somebody else. Particularly for me, I wanted to share why I love women and why I've loved women my whole life since I was very, very young. And being gay, for me has been such an amazing journey of self discovery but also of discovering others."

    "If other thoughts come in, I push them away, and I just focus on the rooster. I get into that rooster really well. I imagine all angles of the rooster. I fly over it, I go under it. I imagine big, I imagine small. I'm just breathing into that. And I do this for as much time as I have to do it. It might be three minutes, it might be ten minutes."

    "And that's why I live mid city, because I could take advantage of just popping down half an hour and my kayak's waiting for me, and I pop out onto the beautiful sea. And I also could pop downtown and see a show or go over to the Valley and see Friends or go into Hollywood and just get into some trouble."

    "But I don't want to continue on. I want to ask you, how do you measure your intelligence? And I'm going to link an article that triggered this question for me, just about a test that people take that frequently they get wrong, they approach it wrong, and it measures some kind of aspect of your IQ. But I'm not going to put any more into this because I don't want to beg the question. I want to hear your thoughts."

    "And the woman just turned and looked back at the path and pointed and said to the old bucket, hey, look at look at all those flowers on one side of the road, the side that you're on. Thank you so much for watering those beautiful flowers. Look what you did. I love this story because it really helps illuminate what we all know is true, which is that other people see our gifts way before we do sometimes, and we just need some perspective."

    "It's Friday, and I wanted to just reflect a little bit on this week. I had some really great conversations with a lot of different kinds of people, and I had an experience that I wanted to share just to see if it resonates with any of you just as a reflection. Also yesterday I came home and there was a huge box on my porch, and it was a fire pit that I ordered. It was like 120 pounds. I don't know how things guy delivered it up."

    "But I do think that sometimes, especially when we're feeling a little I don't know, not beaten down, but a little pressured to sort of fall to the weight of life because it's right there weighing on us. But to sneak around that weight and to pop out like a bubble I'm kind of into that right now."

    "I just love the little seeds and the flavor and it's really fragrant. It's also really high in some important things. It's got vitamin C for sure, which is great for you. What else can I find out about passion fruit? Hold on. I'm looking at the benefits, the health benefits. It's good for wow. Only 17 calories. 9% of your daily value of vitamin C. That's amazing. It's got things for people who deal with what is this saying?"
