The First Question



"I love the way you relentlessly fine-tune our language. For example, in the beginning you said transformation is 'the space in which the event transformation occurs', then recently you told me transformation is 'getting to see as a possibility who you might be really'. So ... what is your definition of 'mastery' - today?"

The Fourth Question



"It occurs to me that the circuits of our brains which facilitate face-to-face conversations and adult interpersonal speaking and listening (the milieu of being human) are at risk of atrophying, given the onslaught of impersonal digital communication.
