I mean... You just pole-vaulted into legend status with this. What greater message could you put forth in your work than a reminder to embrace the best things in life: love, the collective, singing and dancing? So much brilliance and wisdom and hope and a wildly compelling argument for getting in touch with the fact that the most magical elements of life are indeed natural, primal, and timeless. Unbelievably good, Cintra. I wish everyone could be stopped in their tracks on a regular basis to listen to these missives on a loudspeaker. In public spaces. So that there's lively conversation afterward--likely leading to connection, new romances, spontaneous singing, dancing and the creation and erecting of great works of art!

Modern American audiences may, in fact, be inclined to believe that they themselves are the result of alien sorcery. This got me wondering if Sesame Street still teaches the concept of cooperation along with the alphabet and numbers up to twelve.

I just played it for Jimmy and he loved it. We had to pause it because he was cracking up at your performance during the "find it, feel it, give it, cherish it" part. He really enjoys your idiosyncratic way of speaking.
