Two powerful films of reflection and sensation. Colette and Green Book.
I saw so much beauty this evening at Durdle Door, Dorset. Epic swim too in a sea which felt more wild and unhinged with a strong exciting power that made my adrenaline buzz.
Shoulders are beautiful. When I use them, dance with them, they make me light and strong. They physically lift me up. I appreciate them. I like to engage and challenge them. Swimming has been amazing for this. They’re happy and awesome right now.
I’ve noticed that my emotions affect how they feel. When I’m anxious or having a stressful thought, the exact moment the worry comes, my shoulders tense and give me pain. The sinews move and the muscles shift in the wrong way. Clenching with fear. My shoulders are my emotional compass. My warning sign. And I think, if they’re painful, what other parts of my body are being affected by my worries? What other tricks are my emotions playing on me? And what can I do to stop them freaking me out?
I shake. I stomp. I say NO! I dance hard and fast. It truly is a battle of wills. I flow and move and make sure that my mind understands who’s in control. It’s my spirit. My soul. My light. I guide myself back to balance through the movement of my body. Through music and dance. Where thoughts are forgotten and emotions pacified. They’re beacons of light and my body is the conduit.
Love is all I know
Love is all I am
Love is all we are
Love is everything
Secret Smile Song by Technimatic, Lucy Kitchen
Iβm feeling, flowing, dancing, moving. Seeing the best bits in my thoughts and actions and continuing flying along this path with love. Let’s get uplifted. πΆ
That moment when you’re back from a late night swim and hanging out the towels with an electrical storm raging politely overhead.
Just about my most favourite thing to do in the whole wide world. Got my fins, paddles and a new pair of first class goggles. I was zooming like a mermaid. Thank you universe!
Here’s a new recording I’ve just finished from the Maleficent Soundtrack. A Lana Del Ray cover of Once Upon A Dream. I was going for dreaminess. ππΆπ
Finally I recorded this Radiohead cover song. It’s been swirling around my head for ages. Just me and my harp. Improvising. Exit Music - Radiohead πΆ
Stranger Things 3. What a finale. No spoilers. Just a damn fine story right there. Loved it. What a tribe of actors. Amazing.
Loved dancing to new beats today. Different flavours, summery vibes. Love not knowing what’s coming next in a song. It feels exciting to find out how my body will move to its rhythm. Whether it’ll soar with the melody or grind down with the beat. There was a fair bit of bouncing.
Exciting seaside adventure at West Bay, Bridport. Crystal clear waters made my body sing. Golden sands and sunshine purified my skin. Imagine a baby giraffe trying to navigate their way across loose stones. That’s me. I’m a cheeky sea lion in the sea though π. Oh, then this…
