Day 19.

SPEAKER_03 0:04

Free tea.

SPEAKER_02 0:12

30 days of free tea in Mary Hernandez Park.

SPEAKER_05 0:15

Hello, hello. Jose is in the house.

SPEAKER_04 0:20

How are you, Jose? I feel happy. Because I'm I'm having a conversation and drinking some tea. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 0:28

Why does the conversation in the tea make you feel happy though?

SPEAKER_04 0:32

Because I'm uh I'm expressing I'm letting go of my emotions. My first drop. Oh the first raindrop. How do you feel about the rain?

SPEAKER_03 0:48

I love it, man. Every time it pours like the like it looks so beautiful.

SPEAKER_04 1:04

A lot of things pause when it when it rains. Sometimes I I scream at the rain.

SPEAKER_05 1:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:16

Like whenever it starts to pour you just like He's gonna how I gotta be careful because I might call it.

SPEAKER_03 1:30

That's what happens.

SPEAKER_01 1:37

And you meet your your good sorts of people in the rain, I think. The people who really just like just life in general. I think those are the best types of people. Who like summer, who like winter, who like spring, who like fall.

SPEAKER_02 1:52

Like yeah, we're back here in the spring and we're witnessing the same thing happening. But it's not the same. There is a slight difference between this year and last and the year before and so on. And it's yeah, the same within a day of perpetual brew. Yeah, we're doing the same exact thing every single day. I'm waking up at the same time, getting ready, getting to the park at the same time. But things have shifted around us.

SPEAKER_04 2:23

There's some healing going on whenever whenever it rains. Sometimes my emotions are sometimes I get like angry and I don't really know how to express my anger properly. So it's like I let her out at the wrong time. That's how I've been raised. Like me and my father, that we don't really like we don't really talk about no emotional stuff. I got like conditions to not like talk about how I feel. And it's a little frustrating, but I gotta learn how to accept my father and the relationship that we have because I only have one father, and he's gonna get older, and I'm gonna get older, and I don't wanna have so much of a resentment toward towards the things that I can't control. When I got older, he started to understand what I like because I started to open up a little bit more.

SPEAKER_02 3:24

Tell me about fatherhood, what's that like?

SPEAKER_00 3:27

Fatherhood is amazing. All I can tell you is love it. Remember that you were a kid once. And try not to put your past turmoils on your children. Like um, trying to figure out where your life navigated might not be the same for your children. So try to let them take their own path and uh support them in any way possible. Oh, you like that? Alright, not too much. Sorry. No, we're all good. But thank you though. Yeah, have a good one. You too.

SPEAKER_05 3:57

When I first got my period, I texted my mom that I got my period and then she bought me like a bunch of pads. And I think that was the first time my mom was like, I'm a mother to a daughter.

SPEAKER_01 4:09

You want to look back on the cover.

SPEAKER_02 4:13

You can you can shift ecologies with great disturbances, but also through small acts of planting and introducing and tending. And both of these options are important and necessary in order to get from one ecology to another. So I think of this as more of the small act of kindness and and change. And thinking about it as a cycle of like we are just in this very immature phase. And we once we're not. And this is just like a temporary part where we're really fucking up and competing too much with one another. But soon enough there will be humans and non-humans and future generations that will be able to benefit from what's left. I think it's gonna be a really dark time for a while. And I think the amount of suffering is going to increase before it decreases, but I wouldn't know that we're thinking about it. Yeah, there'll be there'll be life at the end of all of this.

SPEAKER_05 5:44

And the sun is coming out.

SPEAKER_04 5:48

Let me get in there.

SPEAKER_03 5:50

Get some warp, miles, get some warmth.

SPEAKER_02 5:52

Hey Amy, the day is done. How do you feel?

SPEAKER_05 5:57

I feel a lot of emotions. Um, I feel really tired, but I also feel more energized than I did when I started the day. And I feel like I had a hard day and I'm proud of myself for doing it.
