We can draw closer to mysticism if we think obliquely, autobiographically, vernacularly, performatively, practically, erotically, and ascetically. Mysticism is a singular form of floating attention—what I call passive activity or active passivity. It is necessary to mobilize simultaneously all seven adverbs if we are to glean mysticism’s meaning, its core, its magma: love.

How it's been going

“I would like to say that Joan Cusack has done such an extraordinary job as Jessie. It was an honor to write for her. And I’m very lucky that I got to write for this film, and that’s all thanks to Andrew Stanton and Kenna Harris, who wrote and directed this film, and thought of me, and reached out to me, and let me get to experience it and be inspired by it. But I’m also lucky enough to be here because of someone else who is the architect of the Toy Story musical universe. He is the king of making us feel the absolute most and pulling at our heartstrings and making us laugh and making us like, he’s one of our friends, you know what I mean? I’m talking about Randy Newman.”
