Rise R-Eternal Dream

Dorian marshall cuba libre HT3

God should ___, if he wants me. God should be a nervous slip of a kid. God should pick up the altar and make flower petals float. God should draw a shaky self-portrait. God shouldnotbe indivisible. That was one word that always curled on my tongue, when i stood with my hand pressed to my chest, my fickle fast skeletal chest, and chanted the words with the other children, and the teacher whose good-natured smile would so swiftly turn solemn, devout. under god, indivisible. under god’s invisible. under this god, in the visible. in the visible world, god is an electric pulse. God should be small and many. God should mill thanklessly about, in search of me. God should wait on line, eavesdropping on the women ahead of them. give me an inch, girl. cut me some slack. take this worn billfold heart into the other room. take it and fold it over again. let it be some bug’s miniature shelter. God never knows what to make of these places. God shifts her feet, which ache because they should after a whole half-hour, and watches balls of light unfurl on the eggshell-orange tile. God’s waiting on a renewal of some sort, and there are way too many forms. 

God was never an enemy, because i knew God better than our families. but God’s still learning how to make friends. God’s still leaning against my wall, wondering if they’re on the outside or in. God’s still ____, trying to figure out how to ______. God should ___, but not for me. God’s knuckles should tremble. God should look up, ask if they got the right door. God should try and learn something from the silence. God should have to guess.

"God Should Knock" by Amrita Chakraborty

Unknown

Read by Nathan Chen, Eunice Wong

In this exhilarating memoir, three-time World Champion and Olympic gold-medalist Nathan Chen tells the story of his remarkable journey to success, reflecting on his life as a Chinese American figure skater and the joys and challenges he has experienced—including the tremendous sacrifices he and his family made, and the physical and emotional pain he endured.

When three-year-old Nathan Chen tried on his first pair of figure skates, magic happened. But the odds of this young boy—one of five children born to Chinese immigrants—competing and making it into the top echelons of figure skating were daunting. Chen’s family didn’t have the resources or access to pay for expensive coaches, rink time, and equipment. But Nathan’s mother, Hetty Wang, refused to fail her child. Recognizing his tremendous talent and passion, she stepped up as his coach, making enormous sacrifices to give Nathan the opportunity to compete in this exclusive world.

That dedication eventually paid off at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, where Chen—reverently known as the “Quad King”—won gold, becoming the first Asian-American man to stand at the highest podium in figure skating. In this moving and inspiring memoir Chen opens up for the first time, chronicling everything it took to pursue his dreams. Bolstered by his unwavering passion and his family’s unconditional support, Chen reveals the most difficult times he endured, and how he overcame each obstacle–from his disappointment at the 2018 Olympic Games, to competing during a global pandemic, to the extreme physical and mental toll the sport demands.

Pulling back the curtain on the figure skating world and the Olympics, Chen reveals what it was really like at the Beijing Games and competing on the US team in the same city his parents had left—and his grandmother still lived. Poignant and unfiltered, told in his own words, One Jump at a Time is the story of one extraordinary young man—and a testament to the love of a family and the power of persistence, grit, and passion.

ONE JUMP AT A TIME by Nathan Chen

Connect with the primal, feminine power of the Moon. Learn what the heavens are telling you, how to read them, and how to act on this knowledge; plus find inspiration in profiles of many strong women.

There was a time when the feminine and her guiding light, the Moon, were all-powerful. Men were seen primarily as consorts to the Great Goddess, as embodied in every woman. In these peaceful, agrarian societies, primal feminine powers—intuition, emotion, sexuality, creation, communion with nature—were honored. And the moon, which waxed and waned in predictable cycles, was a symbol for the birth, growth, death, andrenewal of life on Earth.

Moon Power’s 12 chapters each represent a moon sign. The introduction describes what’s meant by Moon Power, provides some history about ancient moon worship, and explains why it went underground. The basics of moon phases and the meaning of new and full moons are explained. Simple rituals for connecting with the power of the moon are included. The book:

Offers guidance on working with each sign as the moon passes through it (for example, when the moon is in Aries, take assertive action, but watch impulsivity)
Includes in each chapter a profile of a powerful woman who typifies her lunar sign (Angelina Jolie, Aries Moon; Malala Yousafzai, Libra Moon)
Introduces a Goddess and Power Animal for each moon sign and activities and rituals for connecting with their energy during certain moon phases

Moon Power will inspire you to recognize and develop your lunar nature, showing you how—through reflection, ritual, and purposeful action—to understand your emotional nature and inner self more deeply.

Cuba on the Move

Pendant 90 minutes, le 15 juillet 2018, une grande partie de la planète a suivi la finale de la coupe du monde de football. Nous avons enregistré une soixantaine de radios qui commentaient le match à leur manière, dans le monde entier : Ghana, Mali, Brésil, Argentine, Pologne, Croatie, Thaïlande, Bangladesh, Indonésie et Maroc...
Le traitement sonore du même événement donne à entendre ce qui nous rassemble dans un monde globalisé, mais aussi les différences culturelles qui persistent. Certaines radios entrecoupent la diffusion de publicités, d’autres d’appels à la prière, de dédicaces ou de l’annonce de l’heure locale, bombardant des jingles ou de la musique à la mi-temps.
Dans une époque globalement visuelle, où nous sommes tous connectés via le petit écran et l’internet, écouter la radio semble une pratique désuète, mais le commentateur reste une figure importante pour les amateurs de football du monde entier. Ce collage sonore propose de réécouter un récit dont tout le monde connaît l’issue, à travers ses langues, ses accents, ses rythmes et ses mélodies, sur fond de grésillements et de saturations propres à la radio hertzienne.

Radio Mondial (Español)
Durante 90 minutos el 15 de julio 2018, una gran parte del planeta siguió la final de la Copa Mundial de Fútbol. Grabamos unas 60 estaciones de radio del mundo entero comentando el partido, cada uno a su manera : en Ghana, Mali, Brasil, Argentina, Polonia, Croacia, Tailandia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Marruecos…
El tratamiento sonoro del mismo acontecimiento nos ofrece escuchar aquello que nos une y nos reúne en un mundo globalizado, pero también las diferencias culturales que persisten. Algunas radios interrumpen la transmisión con publicidad, otras con los llamados del muecín, dedicatorias, anuncios de la hora local, bombardeo publicitario y música durante el medio tiempo.
En una época globalmente visual, donde estamos conectados a través de pequeñas pantallas y el internet, escuchar la radio parece una práctica antigua, pero el comentador sigue siendo una persona importante para los aficionados de la pelota. Este “collage” sonoro propone re-escuchar un relato del cual todo el mundo conoce el final, a través de una variedad de lenguas, acentos, ritmos y melodías sobre un fondo sonoro de interferencias y saturaciones propias de la radio.

Radio Mondial (English)
On July 15, 2018, over the course of 90 minutes, a big part of the planet followed the FIFA’s World Cup final tournament. We recorded around 60 radio broadcasters from all over the world which all commented on the match each in their own way: in Ghana, Mali, Brazil, Argentina, Poland, Thailand, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Morocco, among others.
Through the sound-based coverage of one of the planet’s biggest events the act of listening unites people and brings us together in a global sense, but also gives us the opportunity to identify our cultural differences. For example, during half-time, some radio broadcasters interrupt the match with advertisements, while others have prayer calls, personal dedications, the local hour announcement, or simple bombarding listeners with jingles and music.
In global and mostly visual times, when we are connected through a small screen and the internet, listening to the radio seems like an old-fashioned practice, but for soccer lovers the commentator is still a relevant and an important character in their lives. This sound collage invites us to listen to a story of which we all know the end through a variety of languages, accents, rhythms and melodies within a background of crackling and saturation, very common sounds in radio broadcasts.
