• Power is not a matter of one dominant individual or institutions, but instead manifests in interconnected, contradictory sites where regimes of knowledge and practice circulate and take hold. This way of understanding the dispersion of power helps us realize that power is not simply about certain individuals being targeted for death or exclusion by a ruler, but instead about the creation of norms that distribute vulnerability and security.

• Every single choice we make, no matter how small, is the ground where who we are meets what is in the world. And the fruits of that essential relationship- the intimate, fertile conversation between our own heart's wisdom and the way the world has emerged before us- becomes a lifelong practice of deep and sacred listening for the next right thing we are required to do. We make the only choice that feels authentic and honest, necessary and true in that moment.

  that society is now a reflex of key shifts in music theory and practice....
  [Sampladelia is] the sound made by those early-twentieth-century discoveries
  in particle physics and relativiity theory, the projection of the minds of
  Einstein, Heisenbery, and Bohr, their fateful explorations of liquid time,
  curving space, uncertainty fields and relativity theorems, into densely
  configured and fully ambivalent android music tracks
