Mindy Meng Wang 王萌 & I have released our first new song in two years. In the face of existential paralysis, I recommend a book called "Emergent Strategy" by adrienne maree brown.
I don't have the faintest idea why, but whenever I start to feel disconnected from the world and look at the bigger picture a bit too much, listening to the Swedish House Mafia remix of Coldplay's "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" brings me back down to contentment. It's nice to have a reminder of the completely unimportant things that are still critically important to you.
I wish I got more emails like this honestly. Thanks for giving me something to think about, mirroring some of my own existing ruminations. Hope you’re well.
loved this, Tim, thankyou for sharing. For what it's worth in the first half I was ready to say to you "I despise small talk, it always makes me super awkward... I would love anytime to speak to someone like you in these ways." But the second half was important too; I'm glad you found some kind of beacon to also serve on the long path, you're right, we gotta keep balance, see and know the bad, but feel the hope and the way our small actions cause ripples... thanks again as always
