Hey, the song of the day is Burn It Down. Hope you like it. Ming wanted to hear it, and he danced so cutely, this morning. He asked for the song about Rodney Coronado, and I didn’t know what he was talking about. But when I searched for Burn It Down, I was like–oh! Yeah,… Read More »
We have helped my super cute love Ming transition from 54 to 55 years old. We did good. Congratulations! You have arrived at the speed limit. I was singing in the desert to Mother God, a sweet song, Eight Stanzas to Bhavani. It’s in Sanskrit. I’d like to record it for you, but I’m having… Read More »
Dear Ming, Thank you for cleaning the stove last night. It looks beautiful! It’s easier to cook when I’m not dodging old beans, ends of asparagus stems, brown leaves, potato eyes all looking at me, from the refuse pile. Thank you for when you cover me with the blanket and give me the little pat… Read More »
Yesterday was Ming’s birthday party. He’s a birthday person! I’d had around three hours of sleep and was emotional and having a hard time doing anything. Sleep has moved from a second tier problem to a first tier problem. So I would like to throw it off a pier. Chuck it like a starfish! But… Read More »
“Example cats,” I said. I was thinking about making cat sculptures / toys of cats I’ve loved. The now invisible made visible. “Is that like thunder cats?” Ming asked. “Thunder cats–I know what you’re talking about. A cartoon–they were like cats, but like people, in these colorful space suits? Did they have a ring? Or… Read More »
Hey, I was thinking about dance. That video I made and shared, about ecstatic dance, was a good experience for me. I like finding new ways to communicate my truths. I got some appreciative responses. Ecstatic dance is free, spontaneous dance anarchy. As for regular dances, I wish there was a traditional dance of my… Read More »
Hey, did you know I love salt? Salt is bizarre, by the way. It’s not an herb or spice, but we sprinkle it on so much of our food. It’s a damn chemical! Long ago I heard this thing about how salt crystals are squarish, but they squish a little from gravity. But salt in… Read More »
I made a video about ecstatic dance as embodied healing, what it is, how it helps me. I posted it on youtube. Maybe you would like to learn why ecstatic dance is so important to me. Here’s the blurb I wrote to summarize. Ecstatic dance is my favorite embodied healing modality. It helps me love… Read More »
Hey, I was ecstatic dancing outside to my youtube dance playlist. I was wearing no shirt–I wore a sports bra. It’s ok to exercise, wearing a sports bra, so I hear. But I never did it before. I walked outside in a skirt and bra, which I had never done before. Felt vulnerable and slightly… Read More »
“Are you mad at that tortilla?” I asked Ming. Then I started laughing. “I never said that sentence before. I get a thrill,” I said. He had moved a box that had a plate on it, with a tortilla. It made a slamming sound, like tortilla anger. Tortillas are the most beautiful, innocent, perfect things… Read More »
