Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,

As you may have noticed, we had a heap of new participants this past couple of weeks — students, for the most part, in a course at a university in Australia. Welcome, folks.

And thanks to everyone who participated this past week. I hope the remix therapy did the trick. This week we’re exploring what a single word might mean.

And that covers it. Thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity.

Best from San Francisco,

Marc Weidenbaum

Tasks Upon Completion:

Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

Additional Details:
