Play is the production of fun; entertainment is the consumption of fun.

Ultimately, work on self is inseperable from work in the world. Each mirrors the other; each is a vehicle for the other. When we change ourselves, our values and actions change as well. When we do work in the world, internal issues arise that we must face or be rendered ineffective.

How do we change the world? Change the story.

Each experience of love nudges us toward the Story of Interbeing, because it only fits into that story and defies the logic of Separation.

No one's ever completely broken. It's just a matter of how much has to fall apart before the ember of life is exposed to air.

I'll start with where we are right now. The map that I'll use is this birthing process, this kind of profound transition that we're going through, where the old narratives, the old story, the old mythology is wearing thin, beginning to fall apart. And as it does so, people hold on to it even more tightly. They haven't let go and won't let go until it becomes simply impossible to hold on to it anymore. And we're nearing that time, but not yet. Right now you can still pretend everything's normal, even though it's greatly hollowed out.

Joint consumption doesn't create intimacy.
