This Quan Yin is a replica of a celebrated statue on display at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. Jack Kornfield took a photo of it to Victoria Fahey in Bali where a master artisan created a replica for Spirit Rock. The carving took over a year to complete because the artist wanted to work from a single piece of wood to represent wholeness. The figure is seated on an outcropping of rock in the traditional posture of royal ease. She is both relaxed and yet ready to respond to all in need. Quan-Yin means "She Who Hears the Cries of the World" and her compassion embodies both male and female characteristics.

Me: It is wild to me how much of parenting is tone policing right now. “Can you ask that again in a normal time of voice?” like 10 times per day. Person 1: I’ve convinced my kids that I just actually can’t understand whining which is shitty and gaslighting but yikes. Person 2: but also hilarious. Person 3: gaslighting your kids for good is one of the complex nuances of parenting.

I say, “dude this musical is gonna be hella depressing.” Reed says “oh yeah. You know this is by the guy who I adore because of his musical about how he got famous, cheated on his wife, destroyed their relationship, and ruined her life. Right?” I say: “Yeah but this is like, society level. “ Him: “I think if you were to try to describe “my kind” of musical theater it would be the ones where a bunch of people get up on stage to sing and dance about something deeply upsetting. “
A subject is on the left side, with a consent arrow leading to gathering and using data. Returning from the data use is disclosure and what you think will happen with the data. Returning from the data itself is transparency and what actually happened with the data. Under it all is setting expectations of value and risk, and time and use bounding. Above it all is enforcement of how the policy will be upheld.
