"Is the goal of this event to look good for a broadcast, which a lot of the league events are because they just, you know, they're big audience is the people that are watching it online. You know, I can't fit hundreds of thousands of people into this one menu, unfortunately. That would be really cool at some point. But not right now. So what are we trying to create here? Is the stage the most important thing? Because the Call of Duty major four, it was all just stage. That's all it was. We didn't even worry about there was no audience. You didn't even see where people would be sitting because it's just like a black void. And so getting that goal of what is this event supposed to be and why are we doing it? And then of course, making sure you have the right venue. Thankfully, we've had the advantage of having venues like the eSports stadium here. Not that that's the only one, but that has been the easiest turnkey one and I've already produced multiple events there. So working with that specific venue is very easy for us to know and understand and honestly, we help other people do events in that space at this point, which is fun. For sure. Yeah. But before that, don't get me wrong, I had to do I've done so many site visits with all these different menus around the metroplex. Dickies arena and American airline center Toyota music factory coldwell center eisman center. We try to get creative. I'll go into the symphony hall and be like, how can this become an eSports event? Or I'll go into this, you know, basketball facility, like, what can we do to turn this into a cod major? What do we need to bring in? How much staging do we need? The most importantly, and this is the hardest part about eSports is what screens are we going to have and how much are they going to cost? That is 100% the most expensive thing about an E sports event is you need the biggest brightest best looking screens because that's the game. That is what people are watching. And you can't skimp on that. No, not stuff. No, for sure. I mean, I used to work in a past, left used to work for an events company and part of that was LED screens. An LED screens assembling and all that. It was just dropping LED panel was good cost like $500. The whole thing has got to be worth easily a couple 100,000. So I was just like, this is absolutely insane, the kind of work. Just get this stuff up in the air. Never mind planning it all out in the first place. So I guess the event is planned. Everything's going swimmingly in terms of setup and everything. Now it has to start. So during the event, I mean, I'm sure your position, you're spending a lot of time just managing fires and on crisis watch and averting things like any kind of trouble on the horizon you're looking at for and just kind of managing people. Is that kind of what you do during an event? Yeah, my main job for event is to think about all of the things.

And yet we travel just just create a distance and in the third movement itself, which is the shortest of before the moon is constantly vary. And at the end of movement three. It's just astonishing and it's lead up to this glorious entry into the finale. What's going on here? How does he pull that off? There's a few facets that I think. Create that particular darkness. I have to admit, I often think of Fidelio, too, because that feels like the cavernous prison at that point. But part of it is that he moves to the particular harmony that he does and its relationship to the key of the peace. Part of it is the suspension of that harmony with the sustaining streams. And then to have underneath that this ominous pulsing Symphony and for them it to just Not quite be able to release itself from these construction. So it starts to try and move this way and that and it just can't And we stay in this place where, but it almost feels as if one is bound. And as you try and Resist.

"There's a significant outbreak happening in many Latin American countries. I was talking to colleagues yesterday in Argentina. They were telling me Bad things are there and you know when there is uncontrolled transmission of this virus like it's happening in those countries, the chance of more variance emerging increases dramatically. So I think we as a country the U. S. Has really has had to start. Really doing much more to control the global pandemic because we're not gonna be safe until everybody safe globally. And what does that mean? You have called for the Biden administration to donate vaccines to other countries. Is that what you think should happen? Well, you know it needs to be that, but it also needs to be the ability to give other countries Like India, Like other countries that could produce vaccines, the ability to lift the patents so they can actually produce a vaccine. This is not just giving them a vaccine. But it's also giving them the ability to start manufacturing the vaccines, places like the serum instead of India and other places around the world, Argentina, Mexico or setting up manufacturing capabilities, and I think we need to have multiples places. Bang factor vaccines. In order to be able to get vaccines to everybody globally, turning back here to the United States. I am curious about masks. Do you think the CDC dropped the mass mandate too soon? I think the CDC did the right thing Based on this science, I think there was a little bit of a problem with the communication about you know the implementation. This science is correct. If you're if you're vaccinated, you don't need to mask. The problem is how do you know who's vaccinated? Right? That's the issue. We don't have a way to certify close vaccinated. So like yesterday when I went to Theo, the you know, would, of course, Center Symphony Hall. I don't know who's vaccinating who's not, and therefore, an indoor setting were vaccinated and unvaccinated people are mixing. We all need to be mess. Now. If there was a way some sort of digital passport somewhere to know who's vaccinated. Who's not, Then you can say, Well, everybody's vaccinated here. Therefore, we can drop our masked man they issue is exactly that. And what I tell people is If you're gonna be in a setting an indoor setting where Maxim vaccinated and unvaccinated people are gonna mix I recommend you continue wearing a mask.

But Felix is not going toe Wait for that he convened a group of surviving world's fair staffers. Talk about what the diamond anniversary of the century 21 fair might look like Felix has brought to us by Lake Washington Windows and doors. Good Morning. Morning. Yes, The 60 years is a long time ago, I remain a little obsessed with Seattle World's Fair history for a couple of reasons. One is that it's still so present Seattle Center of Space Needle, the monorail, the fountain, Even your climate pledge arena. The basic layout of the fairgrounds is still in place. Second reasons that Seattle center is physical evidence of a watershed moment in local history. When the city in the region dramatically changed. There's not much in the way of other artifacts of other watershed moments. Anything about the conduct Gold rush in World War two. Those major events, you'll really abstract to me by comparison. Now. The third reason is that people who pulled it off who made it much more than that Carnival on Mercer Street, and you kept on doing cool things. I got four of them together through the magic of Zoom a few days ago to talk about the past in the future, With an eye to next year 60th Anniversary Junior's Rochester's a writer and historian. His father, City councilman Al Rochester, actually had the idea for the 62 fair. To mark the 50th anniversary of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition held at the U. Dub campus. He has a ton of memories, of course, including opening night at the Opera House with Van Clyburn and Igor Stravinsky. Another musical memory really stands out Jackie Shooters bad that marched every single day almost every single day through the fairgrounds and changed his tunes and had people join him and stopped him to converse with people and the music was around us all. The time we developed was very, very exciting. It was a physical thing. An audio thing. But a memory that will never leave me. Let's hear a little bit of Jackie suitors. All right, here's Jackie Suitors, Ladies and gentlemen. So it imagine guys dressed in those band uniforms marching around the Seattle center, the fairgrounds playing music like that almost all day, really wonderful memory for Judas Rochester. Now. Albert Fisher was head of television and movies for the fair. He's the guy you got President Kennedy on the phone for the opening ceremonies. He escorted Elvis Presley all over while they were filming that famous movie, and he later worked on other affairs and had a long career and in television in Hollywood, Albert Fisher says that the more recent fares he's seen our farm or commercial He says Seattle of special in its focus. Seattle was really the one of the last Great fares that did showcase the achievements of of mangled lined in the arts and the sciences. And I remember by that opening night at the opera house with Prevents me and bang Clyburn and It was. It was an exciting event. But you know, every day at the fair was something exciting and different and unusual. And it went on for six months, and Louis Larson told us that every day at the fair was like New Year's Eve, Larson's now 96. He is the last surviving senior staff member of the fair. He managed advance ticket sales and then escorted VIPs around the fair, including Prince Philip and Adlai Stevenson. Not together. Of course, Before the fair, he barnstormed the country selling sponsorships and exhibit space. That was the money that kept the fair management going before the for the thing opened now, Louis Larson told us about one memorable visit in 1962, a Midwest manufacturing executive International Harvester vice president of I think market or something, and I make the pitch and Yes, it is. Big charity Turn front looks up the window and he turns back and he says down. Tell me says, says it's Seattle. You're smoking. That's on the ocean. I know I had a geography left for good stuff. So these guys all have great stories and great memories. But like the fair itself, with its century 21 theme, the anniversary conversation really turns the fair's legacy. The fourth guy in the group is see David Eubanks. He worked for Louis Larson during the fair producing events. And then, after the fair, he became assistant director of Seattle Center. He was there during the years when Bumbershoot in Northwest Folklife became institutions. See David Eubanks looks at modern downtown Seattle with places like Benaroya Hall in the Art Museum. He see Seattle center is the cultural incubator. If there hadn't been a place for it, those things to grow Never would have happened. And yet she Alistair's still filled with performing arts. And visual arts of some of them are different than what started. But you know, and then you look downtown your Symphony Hall's new art museums. They would never have gotten there. If there had not been a Seattle center to start with. Where they could touch and talk about being in the downtown world. But that doesn't mean that Dale Center lost anything looking all that stuff that's still there. It's amazing.

Let's find out cures thoughts comparing the walkie to that other place that other big city a little bit south of us on the lake. Do you think of Milwaukee's of Big, small town? Um, yeah, I think so. The thing that I that I tell people so I we two for two years we did a program called Innovate. 94. It talked about the innovation that's happening on the I 94 corridor all the way from northern Indiana all the way up through Chicago and right in that Real quarter, right tucked against the interstate, you know, within, you know, five miles on either side of the interstate and all the innovation that's happening all the way up through, you know, Canosa and receive, you know, the Lake County, Illinois. Canosa ever seen Milwaukee out to Madison and all the way up into Minneapolis and And so I think about that corridor is being a place that where innovation and ideas can travel the so fast and so easily And so you can have these big growth, You know? Really cool. Fancy, You know, business is like that. Northwestern Mutual is that big, beautiful tower and we and we have you know the newbie mo tower, all of the different businesses that are easily accessible to the interstate or to the train. And hopefully more trains in the future. Hopefully, we'll get some or connect connectivity there, but you can afford to have a house. You know, that is probably three times as big as you can afford it in Illinois or or for sure, close to Chicago. You can have a backyard. You can have. Ah, dog and your kids can walk to school, but you still get All of the big city. Great stuff like we have all the fabulous museums. We have every single sports team, even though you you got to drive to Green Bay to go to the football games, but You can just drive to Green Bay and go to the football games. We have every single major league sports team. We haven't you know, absolutely fabulous Art museum. We have a brand new symphony hall in one of the channel. If you haven't been to the symphony, man, I was not a huge company camp man. My husband was, but Some of the best symphony in in the country. If not, if not, the world is right here in Milwaukee and a brand new Symphony Hall. We have all of that everything. Chicago has But you can have a house and you could afford to live here and you can get from one place to the other really fast. So that's that's what I think of. I don't know if I think of it so much in size, but in in the ability to have a really cool life. Why is it then? That the rest of the country kind of looks that Wisconsin Milwaukee is? Yeah, they you know, they don't know They have no idea what the real world's like. They don't until they you know, they may think that until they get here, so once I get here, and they spend a little time then then they get it because all they've seen that, you know, they haven't seen a lot of us. We had this great opportunity with the convention That was gonna happen to show off who we are and who we were. And sadly, that didn't happen at the time, and hopefully we'll have more opportunities like that. If you haven't been to a place, it's really hard to envision. How beautiful wonderful can be. When all you know is it could be 20 below zero. So WeII do have that We do have to deal with that. What you will. You mentioned the convention. That never was not to be political, because I don't think this is a political thing. The first woman to become vice president. What do you think that means to women and and and going in and in the future? Will that make an easier path for women who want to become executives who want to go into politics who want to grow their careers in in in places that maybe women have never been before? You know, I think every time a person succeeds, the people who look like them and who identify like them feel more confident. And so whether it is a woman who is going to be in the White House, which is which is terrific People who who look like them and and and they identify with If you can see those examples, because a lot of people never see those examples, and you know that's one thing that you'll see him.

It's not just the executives in the big towers and it's not just, you know, 5 10, you know, 10 years ago, you go through any business journal and probably any newspaper, and you see for any kind of business story be primarily White men in their fifties and sixties.

But it's very difficult to go down to 20 hurts because it requires a very large driver and a very large box and a very large speaker. So unless you're spent willing to spend lots of money, you want to add a subwoofer two year main speakers suddenly for his order to aren't that expensive there? Couple 100 bucks. Well, they can. It could be more but there Yes, but they don't have to be because they're simple. They just do the one thing that that free Just the low frequencies typically below 80 hurts from 80 hurts on down. It makes a difference. Because while you huge def, Yeah, I mean, if you listen to music, and there's a base You know, being guitar being played, You could hear synthesizer in particular. You can hear it on the regular speakers. But you can feel it on the subwoofer. It's it's a little more visual. It sounds a little and then there's movies. And then there's movies. You know if you like action movies with explosions and rockets taking off and dinosaurs roaring and all that stuff, you know you really need a subwoofer to experience that fully. Well, as I said, Normally, those subwoofers need to be really big, physically large in order to get down to 20 hurts, but calf. The British speaker, company, K. F has come up with a new idea that I think it looks really good. And I can't wait to try it out. Um They call it Unit Corps and basically what it is, is it? It takes two drivers, right? These are the actual vibrating speaker part of the subway for any speaker. Put him opposite each other on opposite sides of the of the Cabinet. And that's not unusual lot of Gladys Subwoofers do that. It's called dual opposing force canceling because they move in and out together, and they cancel each other's force out on the Cabinet itself. So it stays there. It doesn't resonate. It cancels out the residents and you hear you hear the sound? What kept ID? That's so interesting is they took the Voice coils, the coils of wire that actually carry the audio signal and basically overlap them. They nestled them one into the other so that you could get a lot more excursion. The drivers can move a lot farther than in a normal situation and the most important part about that. That's all kind of technical but the most important part about it is they've they've introduced a subwoofer. All the Casey 62, in which the two drivers are only 6.5 inches in diameter. Normally and the box that they're in is only a 10, inch Cube. Wow! And normally such a tiny little speaker, Tiny little subway for you wouldn't get anywhere near 20 hurts. This thing is specified down to 11 hurts. Wow! Which is way below what we can hear. You can still feel it, though. So any subwoofer that can go down that low is is worth paying attention to a sketch puts it even if you only consider down to 20 Hertz. It gives you what they call foot room. Most speakers. You want head room. You want Maura ability at the top, then you can Actually here so that they don't have to work so hard here. The subwoofer is able to go lower than you can hear, And it doesn't have to work this hard in the range you can hear, and it's only 10 inches. It's only a 10 inch Cuban. It gets down to 11 hurts. That's like unheard of Now. I know you haven't heard it. Because no no one's hearing anything these days. But Kay, you have is a very respected speaker company. Very respect Sittard by many audio files to be a reference, speaking absolutely, absolutely so that many years since the eighties they've done they've done what are called concentric drivers so in their main speakers there Their mid range driver is ah 45 inch. Cone or or something that vibrates the mid frequencies, and they embed the Tweeter, the high frequency driver in the middle of the mid range driver, So this is called a concentric driver, and it means that all the frequencies from the mid range on up to the highest are coming from the same location. Most speakers. You have Ah, mid range and then a tweeter in a different location on the on the speaker and that can propose some problems. This becomes the una que as kept calls, it becomes a point source of all of the sounds except the very low lowest frequencies. On. It doesn't matter with low frequencies because they are not directional. You are ears can't hear where low frequencies air coming from, that's where you could put your subwoofer anywhere. Thank you. But your subwoofer anywhere. March chat room, you David in the chat room. The tube was lowest Frequency, Mr Tuba player is 29 32 Hertz. If sounds about round in 88 key piano. The lowest note is 32 Hertz. But there isn't There is an instrument that will go lower and that's a pipe organ, which will go down to 16. Hertz. He's exactly correct. You've heard that if you ever exactly correct good pipe organ That loan. Oh, boy, you know, for example, the sand sauce Symphony number three otherwise known as the organs, something which we went to hear it Davies Symphony Hall with John less than a year ago. They have a marvelous organ there. And, yes, you heard 16 her herd or rather, you felt 16. It's a marvelous moment. It's kind of like We wanted to say, let the bass drop as zombies. The bass drop. Exactly. John was going here comes here comes on. Amazingly, this little 10 inch subwoofer which you can fit all understanding. I'm concerned that the small size means Yeah. You can make a sound that low, but It doesn't have a lot of energy behind it. You say it does. It's it does it. They're specifying its maximum output at 105 decibel NT sound pressure 20. That's gonna hurt your ears. If you listen for a long time mortar than a Wow, This is really into this kind of a breakthrough, isn't it? It is, It really is now imagine they handed it so.

Music director Esa Pekka Salonen has said with this new platform, he showing that the SF Symphony isn't just an orchestra. But a media company what? Seeming by that Well, since the symphony hasn't had a concert for almost a year. Now they've spent all that time really experimenting with all kinds of stuff. Podcasting videos, virtual concerts. So this streaming service is really them Taking that to the next level, It's gonna have episodes of currents, which is this mini documentary sees that shows the orchestra cooperating with composers and musicians of all kinds of different cultural backgrounds. There's going to be Indian classical music, Persian music, Native American music and pre pandemic thieves might have just been performed as concerts, Davies Symphony Hall and now they're streaming on demand. So have you seen any of these documentaries? And how does it rate till like, Just going to a concert? Yeah, I've seen a few of the currents episodes that are already out. And I really like the hip hop one. You see, some of those symphony musicians performing with Oakland rappers kept choice and I am of the dreamer. And there's a really great conversation about the links between classical music and hip hop and the need to make classical music accessible to diverse communities. It's definitely different from single concert, live and feeling that big burst of energy. But you also get to hear these artists speak about their music and got to know them and a whole new way, so I really enjoyed it. And tell us about how sound box is going to show up on this platform. That's the less formal Syriza that focuses on more contemporary music. Yes, sound box was one of my favorite things to go to before the pandemic. I think it's been described as the symphony meets the nightclub. You got to see San Francisco Symphony musicians collaborating with contemporary composers on really experimental work, using multimedia, sometimes video, dance and even fashion. So with us have symphony. Plus, there's going to be a new sandbox concert every month, and one of the ones I'm looking forward to is a corporation with Julia Bullock. She's a classical singer who's known for curating these really forward thinking programs that put classical music and conversation with jazz and other traditionally African American Jonah's. Her sandbox show coming up. It's called lineage, and she'll be exploring the connection between Nina Simone and Bach, among other are artists as well. Well, that sounds very interesting. Thanks so much, Nastya. Thank you. That was cake, You idiots nasty of windows, Kaya will tweet out a link to.

"The Atlantic City jazz festivals. I mean, everybody knew LZ LZ knew everybody and L Z had a home right down the street from here on Wood Valley, and it was circular house and if you went tells his house There's a good chance you could run into people like Sami or Count Basie or Sarah Vaughan. Nobody else would even know they were in town, and they'd be in all these L Z's House. So, um, Elsie had had, uh, Sammy several times, but the first time he had him. It was the very first pop concert at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall didn't know that. I didn't know that. There were problems. The problem was, it wasn't really built with sound for a pop concert. It was the most extraordinary sound for for the orchestra. But the acoustics the people in the mid in the mids could hear the people in the front had a hard time hearing. The people in the back had a hard time hearing my butt with Samia. My first date. I'm sitting at a sound check. I didn't even know what a sound check was. But I'm sitting at sound check. And a two that particular date most of the guys that were playing for him or from the symphony. Seem. He had his drummers, conductors, bass player, probably his piano players. Well, I'm not really sure. He's trying to tell in a very fast period of time. He's trying to tell the guys from the symphony. If I go content, CA conscience, a That means I want you to play Bo jangles. In the guise of moon. If he says, if I go, Chincha, Chincha Hmm. I'm want you to play birth of the booze but not booze. Blues Sorry. And, um so And the guy's like What? What? What you know, because he wasn't going. He didn't want to say I'm going to play Bo jangles. I'm gonna play birth of the blues. I go coaching to Tink. And that means I'm playing. Bojangles. So the concert was amazing. And after the concert. Said Sami stood with with LZ one stage and without his wife, Estelle. And Mayor Schaefer came on stage. And so I've got these great photos of all of them together on stage with Sami and the one photo that's in, uh At the Gordon Center is from the sound check in earlier in the afternoon. And Sami says I'm going to come back to Baltimore LZ and I'm gonna play for you again. And I'm gonna bring my two very famous friends with me. Unfortunately, that never got to happen. Which was very unfortunate, um L Z Did try to have Sami come back a second time. That was 1981. He tried to have Sami come back in 1984. And at that time that Pier six had opened up and Pier six was selling tickets. I think their highest ticket at that point may have been $20 and the highest place ticket it at the Sami concerts. At that point was 35 $40 and the people favor they wanted to pay the $20, you know. And so they couldn't get they couldn't sell tickets. So I got this idea. I said, Well, what does he what does he promoting these days? And his record people called called me back, and they sent me 2025 copies of a song called Hello, Detroit, and I carted him around to all the different radio stations. And just like your dad, I was just like my dad. I was networking. I don't know what networking is. I had no idea. I was networking and I was meeting people all I'm doing stuff. And unfortunately that never happened and I ever met. I reminded of Mayor Schaefer. At one point, I reminded him about that. And he said Yeah, he never That never happened. We never could get him to come back. So That's why in the beginning of that song, you just that you would listen to. It just went Compton coaching because that was No generals. We could do complicate one more time and play it again. Play it again, Sammy..

"To voices of the community which explores critical issues facing Northern California communities. We introduce you to the voices of community thought leaders and change-makers who are working on solutions that face our fellow individual community members neighborhoods cities and our region. This is George Custer your host. This episode is part of our series exploring covid-19 s impact on nonprofits and small businesses in San Francisco. We started the series back in April of 2020 during the whole page of the first phase of the covid-19 pandemic and the shelter-in-place requirements over these past nine months the covid-19 pandemic and economic meltdown has wiped out millions of jobs in both the nonprofit and small business sectors as well as shuddered tens of thousands of small business operations. The goal of the series does shine a spotlight on the nonprofit's small businesses wage under staff who are struggling to deal with the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on their operations services and sustainability the series of interviews. We conducted features voices from across section of organizations that make up the fabric of our community. Each of them brings a unique perspective on how they and we are dealing with the issues facing our community during the global pandemic and economic depression. But at the outset of this and ongoing it's been people who are used to Bringing people together who have been forced to keep people apart Hospitality workers entertainers. We're the ones who have really had to click on other and keep people safe by keeping them apart and this episode. Our featured voice is John called in the managing director of the San Francisco war memorial and Performing Arts Center the San Francisco Memorial and Performing Arts Center opened in 1932 with a production of Tosca by the San Francisco Opera the war memorial name commemorates the people who served in the first world war zone. It is one of the largest Performing Arts centers in the United States covering 7.5 acres in San Francisco's Civic Center historic district and totals 7,500 seats. Mom gets multiple performance venues. I'm join remotely be assumed by Sean called in managing director of the San Francisco war memorial Performing Arts Center. Thanks for being here John. I would like to begin. And by having you share with us a little bit about the war memorial and Performing Arts Center. I think for most San Francisco people. They walked by it there a McAllister and Venice across from City Hall and they're like, oh it's a month old building. So it would be great if you could get a share or Memorial and how the memorial and Performing Arts Center work with Arts and Cultural organizations to say, we're just go. Oh absolutely. Thanks for having us on George excited to be here today. The San Francisco war memorial and Performing Arts Center is in the heart of San Francisco, right across Van Ness Avenue San from San Francisco City Hall. We have a number of performer venues here including Davies Symphony Hall the War Memorial Opera House and then inside the Veterans building. We have the Herbst theater. There was a center for Opera which hosts both the Toby Atrium theater and the Brian Crain station studio. And we also have a really fabulous event space called The Green Room all in all we can host over 7,000 patrons any given evening and pre covid-19 do that with juice. The ballet performing alongside the symphony San Francisco performances being in Herbst theater all that could happen in one night. So we're both a home for culture and art in San Francisco as well as a huge economic driver for the region. We've been here since nineteen thirty-two. Our resident company is the San Francisco Ballet the San Francisco Opera the San Francisco Symphony and then San Francisco performances, of course is off the primary users of the Herbst theater, and we've had a long partnership with them as well. So I think that we're one of the cornerstones of cultural activity in San Francisco and really proud to be a department of the city county of San Francisco and then fun fact a historical the charger for the was actually signed their trips theater. That's correct. All of the plenary sessions took place in the Opera House. The UN Charter was signed off stage of what was then the veterans Auditorium, which is now known as the Herbst theater and the Japanese peace Accord was also negotiated in the opera house. So we're really big site for history. A lot of folks don't understand wage. Why UN Plaza is called UN Plaza, but it's called UN Plaza because indeed the charter was signed here and for a brief period they actually almost put the headquarters of the United Nations here in San Francisco before they decided to place them in New York. Yeah, we host a lot of history here and still continue to provide a meeting space to Veterans groups and a number of other non-profits working on behalf of veterans causes here in San Francisco. So

The Mindful Minute
Connecting The Dots {Part 1 of 3}
"Hello my friends. Welcome to your meditation practiced today and today I'm bringing something. Perhaps perhaps counterintuitive to the moment and I hope incredibly useful to the moment so perhaps you have noticed like I have bad my days feel like they have a new mental rhythm to them in this time of Cova. Nineteen I find myself in the sort of cyclical all consuming thoughts that take the shape of very intense planning so for me very often. My thoughts sort of cycle through. What kind of schoolwork or am I creating for my children win? Am I going to get my work done? When is my partner going to get his work done? Where will we work within the house? When are we going to eat? What are we going to eat? who do I need to call and check on? I should probably start making a list. Dot Dot died. Repeat Repeat Repeat and for others that I've talked with. They too are noticing a new way of thinking. And although it's not like mine. It is similar in that it feels cyclical and all consuming. And maybe those thoughts go. Oh my God. I can't deal with us. I need to lay down. I can't make another decision. I don't know the answer. Somebody decide for me. Somebody tell me what to do. And both of these responses are completely natural and innate stress responses so they're totally normal right. Both this idea of I'm going to obsessively and even aggressively plan as a way to try and take control of this moment or I'm going to shut down completely. Throw my hands up in the air. And completely disengage because it's too stressful to do otherwise both of these mechanisms keep us trapped. They keep us trapped in our thoughts and stuck living only in our actual heads as if there was no body but me Beneath these giant brains of ours right just ahead and up here things get very tight they get very small they very narrow and there is no joy here and so. I brought an invitation for us today. An invitation to remember and appreciate beauty in this moment and before. I go too deeply into it. Let me just say this this is not to diminish your experience of this pandemic. This is not to shame or suggest you are doing anything wrong by feeling something other than happy. It's not to create the appearance that meditation somehow takes the stress away. And you won't feel anything joy in this moment I can tell you for a fact. That's not true and and I believe that we have to keep living in this moment. There are these memes right now. Going around I really struggle with them one of the ones. I've seen recently as like a dumpster on fire with the with the word. Twenty twenty under it as if this whole year should just be written off in thrown away. It's not that I don't understand that sentiment. Certainly I do. This is a brutal year for us and we only get this one wild and precious life to quote Mary. Oliver and I'm not about to dump a whole year into the garbage and I don't want you to do the same. So today we're going to awaken the census or going to awaken our sense of awe and reacquaint ourselves with beauty. I was reminded recently that one of the things that makes us uniquely human is first our capacity capacity for curiosity and second our capacity to feel two seemingly conflicting emotions in the exact same moment. Yes this is a painful moment. Yes this is a scary moment and beauty still exists here. The weather's been beautiful recently. Right Gorgeous here and as I've been out on walks in our neighborhood I have seen. I WANNA say every single house near me people outside gardening raking trimming the lawns. Maybe mulching just getting their hands in the dirt and certainly. I'm sure it's because some people are bored being at home and have the time. And there's something inherently beautiful about working with the earth. There's something worth savoring. In that moment. As I walked yesterday I listened to a podcast about astronomy the birth and the death of stars and I could feel myself almost wanting to weep with the expansiveness of that discussion. The reminder of something so much bigger and grander than this one moment we find ourselves stuck in and I was reminded of perhaps one of my all time favorite teaching stories and I know many of you have heard me share the story before and I hope that you find it. It's worth repeating so this story is actually a social science experiment that the Washington Post put on a little over a decade ago and they decided to put a violinist down in the DC metro station. Subway station at morning rush-hour. They were curious to see how many people would stop and listen to beautiful music when they were on their way to work but they didn't put just anybody down there. They put Joshua Bell Down There. Who's perhaps one of the most famous and well regarded villainous of our times and he was playing his multimillion dollar violin. He played three of the most difficult pieces of violinists can play the night before he even sold out the Boston Symphony Hall at over one hundred dollars a ticket and so down into the subway station he went morning rush-hour Autoweek Day and he played for forty five minutes. Something like a little over a thousand people walked by and seven people stopped seven. None of whom stopped for more than two minutes. The question posed in this experiment was win. We are on our way somewhere when we have plans. Can we appreciate beauty? And I think the answer must be yes. We must find a way to appreciate beauty. If we want our lives to have a sense of fullness to them and so we're going to awaken our senses in today's practice. This is the formal practice and maybe feels a little small or little insignificant just to connect into sound and sight and taste touch. But it's this practice. Our trust in these practices begin to unfold in our day to day moments so that we can be out for a walk and the scent of spring in the air or we can be stuck on our ten thousand conference call of the day and appreciate the daylight streaming through the window. Sometimes when we awaken our senses and meditation practice. What we feel isn't necessarily joyful. Sometimes we might feel pain. Fear sadness and learning to let it be allows us to save her are censorial experiences. If we're quick to shut one down were quick to shut them all down. So let's sit today and if you need to cry you cry if you need to laugh laugh if you need to smack the floor and rage than you do that too and we trust that.
