under pressure, is what i'm listening to

i just realized that my dissertation is all about connecting. making connections, how do you connect with other people, what makes connecting so useful, when do connections not work, how do you build something you can't see the future of, etc.

so... that's it. i long to connect. this is not a shocker.

"what's your dissertation about?"

"connecting"

"oh!"

"yeah, it's like... how spirituality builds the kind of connections that can help you build a powerful political community."

"oh!"

"right"

... those who know me well should feel free to make the obvious, er, connection.
