Well, how would you describe it? Well, let's go to the title, Bark of Millions, and what it suggests about what people will encounter.
40:39
Oh, well, Bark of Millions is an ancient Egyptian myth about Ra, the sun god, and it is on a boat that travels around the world and it tows the sun with it to give us light.
40:57
And then at night it does battle with... snake in space that is chaos and every morning it arrives victorious and brings the Sun back to us so it's so it's this metaphor about the years and years the bark of millions the millions is the year millions of years and that we arrive we are we do battle but then we arrive victorious we do battle we arrive victorious so I That, to me, is one of the first gods of human existence and also one of the gender queer god.

40:22
And, you know, and everyone just all together, just...
40:25
It was, it was glorious, and it was so healing to just be swept up in it.
41:32
You can say book, life, anywhere.

But I, yeah, how do I ...
27:52
Well, I don't, I n- I've been blessed in my life that I ...
27:57
It's a blessing and a curse.
