day 39: bound lotus


morning dance in a saturated turquoise v-neck & black dancing pants. i released my body to the songs, movement patterns undulating into one another, sometimes graceful & sometimes lightning. break on through to the other side remix was everyone wild, ecstatic, yelping, energized! another tune we used a mop stick for limbo as people backbent & shuffled underneath to the beat. i enjoyed dancing solo, feeling free to explore the space as i chose to, with mini-dances occuring through my travels across the dance floor.

bike ride in an unexpected sunny warm afternoon. fell asleep in the grass & woke to the sound of bamboo rolling on the concrete. had a bansuri lesson, switched my practice flute to an A#, a deeper tone. we stretched our fingers sitting crosslegged on mexican blankets, doing scales together in the empty room with an OM symbol between the windows. he played just a hint of a raga & i closed my eyes, shivered; i was excited to play music that does that to people, makes them closed eyed & tingle & feel their body. just the few moments he played were hypnotic, left an impression.

went to a vegan restaurant party in Westchase, a very unusual activity but fun nonetheless. spent time with a family from the dance community & others there. the vegan flan was so good, better than real flan! i tasted coconut. i would travel to that restaurant just to eat the flan it is that good. munching, mingling, the season of parties & celebration.

i love how the cats greet me when i come home. and then meditation, shower, setting the alarm. on the cusp of big things: the last day of bound lotus, a full moon, a lunar eclipse, the winter solstice & a meteor shower. one word: EPIC.
