[Spring 2024] For Thy Irreverent Essence

Playlist:

Themes & Notes

• Inspired by Zen koans, especially the disrespectful ones.
• Play on words with "evanescence" which means "to disappear or vanish."
• "Dharma" is a Hindu word for "right way of living." This is also a play on words for "drama."
• "Spill the tea" is to empty your cup and ideas such as dharma itself because there is no "right way."
• Inspired by Enlightenment Not.

"I've been procrastinating in making this playlist because I traveled quite a bit this past winter. This playlist made me realize I forgot how much fun it is to make playlists. Similarly, I lately felt so worried about how great people view me that I forgot I'm great too."
