Radio Mano, Papa Tzango.

Hello.

Hey everybody.

Welcome to another Roma from Thailand still on Copangan.

Today is February 13th here which is my 60th birthday and interesting strange moment.

I wanted to be with people that I feel connected to.

I wanted to sort of, I don't know, it feels like a day to reach out and thank people.

And so I just got off a call with my mom thanking her for this life, this body, this opportunity.

And ultimately thanking her for so many of the experiences that I've had, the love and the pleasure and the adventure and even the disappointments and the tragedies and the failures and the

whole fucking thing is just awesome.

And sometimes it's overwhelming life.

You know, it's too much, you know, it's like I think Carl Sagan said something about how of course we can never understand the universe because we are simply a piece of the universe looking back at itself.

So how could we possibly understand the thing that we are but a tiny, tiny fragment of.

And sometimes I feel that way about life of course there's no way to summarize it, there's no way to give meaningful advice, there's no way to even feel it.

I try to always, it's not that I try, it's just I am always underneath everything aware of how fucking bizarre this is that we are made of the same material that makes the moon and makes the rocks that we walk over and the sand and the rain and

the salt in the ocean flows through our veins and it's all it's all the same somehow and yet we have this bizarre illusion.

Is it an illusion or is it a capacity to see ourselves as somehow separate from it and looking back at it.

While it's undeniably true that we are it.

I'm not high probably sounds that way.

But I'm always aware and I guess you are too of how fucking weird this is right and I think it's one of the things that I like about Rogan not to go off on another Rogan thing.

You know, but he's highly aware of the fact that we're just talking monkeys on a rock floating through space right he sort of goes back to that a lot and I feel like that's the underlying realization that keeps shit real that no matter how lucky you are or how successful you are or how many zeros show up when you log on to your bank account.

You're just a fucking talking monkey on a floating rock and you're only here for a little while and then you're not or you were always here and you always will be nobody really knows the answer to that conundrum.
