One change that has happened for me is that I will never forget and forgive the level of

selfishness that I saw displayed and I don't mean by like certain people I mean by

like society obviously I was like my my work is about power dynamics. I know about the

halves and the have-nots. You know what I mean? I get how the system works.

To see an action like this in a sustained crisis around the world.

It had broke my heart and then I broke my brain.

And I just don't know that I personally will ever recover

from what I learned about humanity this last year. From the last year. From Crooked Media, this isn't Holier than now. I'm your host, Philip Picardy.

Okay, y'all, today we have a show that is all about re-emergence.

Now, we are recording this for full disclosure, right around the same time that we're getting some reports about the delta variant.

So it's kind of like we're in this limbo between are we actually re-emerging or are we potentially going to have a couple of more weeks of

semi pseudo freedom before we all have to go back inside and it's a kind of tricky thing to balance,

but not one that should necessarily be unexpected,

right?

This is a pandemic, it is a virus,

and this is kind of how these things go.

That doesn't mean, however, that today's episode

and today's guests don't have a lot to offer for us

as we consider what re-emergence looks like

and what we kind of want to bring forward with us and also what we want to leave behind.

Now I don't have to tell anyone who's listening that this past year to year and a half has been painful, excruciating, full of grief,

full of sorrow, and full of loss for so many people.
