Potential Morning
Listening to Bollywood dance music this morning and sitting on my couch
watching the leaves of spring take over the view. There hasn’t been a day
like this in a while. It’s not that I don’t feel an urgency of things to do.
There are still those. Whether it’s reading ‘Strategic Planning for Dummies’
or finishing up the newsletter I need to send out today. I’m taking a
grounding break.
It’s not going to be a long grounding break. I will do some practice soon.. I
will walk down to the farmer’s market and meet Maya. Sitting on your ass
doing nothing is highly overrated. At least in MY mind it is. I feel much
better after a full day of doing than a full day of nothing. I think it
helps that I love my job. So I really don’t find anything to complain about.
And then everything feels good. I don’t find a need to create shortcuts. I
get to be creative.
Speaking of creative, I finished my collage the other night. It is perched
over my saxophone in my living room. Next to my drums. Next to the pieces of
bamboo in the corner against which (at their base) are leaning my flutes. A
little display of potential staring me in the face every day. Everyday an
invitation extended to the music and the dance. And the computer with the
Bose speakers (as I mentioned) playing Bangala.
Potential is looming. It is about to explode. For those who are ready. Who
are prepared with their boards to ride this wave of excellence through the
desert. It is coming. And we are going to take over the world. (Hi NSA
people, thanks for being interested). I am one of those optimists. Some
people think we are heading for calamity. That we will be fighting for our
food. They have guns (even some of my hippie friends!!!).
No, I think everything is going to be just fine. All we have to do is ride
the wave of creativity when it comes. Don’t be afraid. Ride with all your
Soul. Ride with freedom breathing down your neck like a fire breathing
dragon. Ride without thinking of what possessions you are leaving behind.
Ride your wave out of the dream state. It’s coming for you. Jump onto that
board and ride the waves like the wind!
