quotes::
“when I was in clown school there was an exercise we did where one of the partners would put out a finger and then you would connect the fingers and one of the partners would agree to close their eyes and be led around in a room full of other clowns just by the fingertip of the clown that had their eyes open and there was such a magical intimacy in trusting each other that way whether you were leading somebody or you were the follower there was such a surrender and such a giving up of other sensory input you you had to focus so much on that one little point of connection and I think that that relates to the way that the Zoom call creates constraints that can actually hack into the maseeh rather than hinder it I think that that's a really exciting way to look at it"
"try to find the bliss that's available within the constraints of [whenever] now we are inherently trapped in"

"we find a way [ in monogamy ] that is the least vulnerable and that becomes the path of least resistance but ... also the least sexy"

"I think I think we fall in love with vulnerableness... it's people's vulnerability that we love in them it's not their ... accomplishments or their strengths really and even in a movie the scenes that you love are the scenes where something was broken or something was opened that you know your own heart could pour into."
