The point, for the thesis I'm seeking to put forward, is that there are forces we can call our allies. As Resistance works to keep us from becoming who we were born to be, equal and opposite powers are counterpoised against it. These are our allies and angels.

Perhaps WorldCom benefited the most from employing EBITDA because with its creative capitalization of $11 billion in ordinary expenses, its EBITDA looked even better because those capital expenses were not part of the computation. Not only were the innovators cooking the books, there was a double boiler going: there were no ordinary expenses, and capital expenses did not count under EBITDA.

Ritual silence can be very powerful. Simply keeping silence together can be a powerful part or a whole ritual. It can mean that the relationship is so close that not everything needs to be said aloud and not every moment needs to be entertaining. In a world where every second is filled with talk, music, or alerts, creating the space for silence can be the most powerful time together possible. In my experience, almost every community appreciates a silence ritual when there’s painful loss. When I was a chaplain in a trauma center and attended to families in the worst hours of their lives, I saw how important it was for them to have someone sit with them in silence, and even someone who would protect the silence, so they didn’t feel the need to say anything. Silence together can be the most powerful time.
