Slow Day
Tuesday it is. The only day this week without some kind of medical event. My energy has mostly returned which makes me feel even more wimpy that I had not pushed myself to dance last night. Susan & I walk around the Rose Bowl with friends, they give me a gift certificate for ice cream, yea! Walking goes well,we visit another jeweler, has great stuff at seriously high prices. The problem is we want to see what the rings look like on our fingers but they are special order and can’t be returned. Something to do later in the process, maybe wander around the jewelry district on a day I have enough energy and we have time.
Another song
The key song on my Dancing With Mr C ‘playlist’ is always ‘I’m So Glad I’m Standing Here Today (https://tinyurl.com/y8dz2p54 ) but there are others that popup from time to time. This is how things work for me. When I go for meditation retreats at Mt Baldy Zen Center and other times in meditation songs come to me, flow though me, flow with me. I think this is a deeper place in my being communicating with me. Sometimes I don’t like the music, like several times on a long meditation retreats, feeling a miserable slog at the time, the song in my head is Ol Man River, ’sweat & toil’ music, its not a distraction but bubbling up from deeper in my soul. Although I woke up with I’m So Glad and heard it many times the other song playing on my internal juke box, the theme for today, came from Leya by Haana.
A little of its history in my life: So there we were, Susan & I at Burning Man, not being very good Burners we slept (or tried to) most of the night. This means we missed the extensive after midnight activities including dance & circus acts. The trade off for this energy cycle is that we were up mornings, usually at dawn, the playa was relatively empty and cool. We could see all the art pieces without lines and in beautiful morning light. And there we were at the Temple when a huge dragon shaped art car pulls up with a loud sound system. Playing on top is an amazing violin. The red headed lady had a wireless pickup and came down, people danced and whirled around her, an intoxicating sound, I danced until I dropped. I asked about the car/music/musician, simply ‘who are they’ and got an answer that was Haana, from NYC and a particular camp. The next day I was out again at dawn to dance with the dragon and wild redhead lady. The second song on my Dancing With Mr C Playlist is therefore Leya by Haana. Dance till you drop.
