August 16—Long Beach
Experiencing ever changing altered consciousness with the comings and goings in this post surgery state, whilst acclimating to the specifics of maneuvering and being mindful of certain body parts. Oh these bodies of ours!Sitting in the shade on the porch of where I am hiding, in a marvelous sturdy rocking chair with great wooden armrests and a wide swinging ‘rock’, I watch the wind and light dancing in the willows up above. And as I mesmerize myself with watching and rocking, out of nowhere (is there such a thing?) ‘Shall weeeeee dance…da da da….on a bright cloud of music shall we fly?….da da da…shall we dance…da da da…shall we then say ‘good-night and mean good-bye’?..da da da….’ Oh life! We must not shut it down! We must pay attention to what the child in our heart tells us. If we do our eyes will grow bright.I am ever grateful to my years of being obsessed with every musical on earth back in the 50’s and 60’s!Thank you to Anna and the King of Siam!
