Dance integration

Landing in Honolulu at 7:30 am we hit our hotel, and then to Cafe Lulu for breakfast, on the Waikiki beach. We're at the east end, near Diamond Head and the statue of duke. We walked up to the other end of the strip after bkfast and then for lack of other energy and ideas, went back to the hotel to hang out poolside. I wound up swimming for an hour or so, which was like an uncoiling from the last dayweekmonth.

I felt a real sense of reconnection with my body. I swam slowly, feeling virtuous just for not being asleep, which was ahead of the rest of the group, and stretching kind of randomly at each end. I feel like I've lost the sense that this is my body. Half naked in the water, I started to feel where it was and how each part interacted. My shoulder audibly unkinked as I swam.

Our hotel, upgraded to 2 bedroom (thanks for that god) randomly, overlooks diamond head from the 27^th floor, full views off the balcony, and some great views of the middle range and alu wai canal from our bedrooms.

We're trying to hold out to dinner and then feel free to collapse.   

Elmer and the dragon

I'll be even richer than the king because I'll keep my treasure where I can see it every day.

Goethe—“Everything has been thought of before; the task is to think of it again.”

Some always going, some always coming

In the castle of cats the kitten asked for his birthday to look through the cool mother's telescope. He watched his friends run away and make their own difficult lives. This was hard, but new kittens arrived and played pat bat.

"My dear fur child. They did not have to go, they wanted to go, and they were ready to go. You are not ready to go, and I would not let you go, not for a long long time."

In Tahiti, I soaked in the milky sunshine on the verandah over the water and watched the white sails. They seemed still, anchored off the bay but their number and array would change from time to time, and day to day. Some always going, some always coming.

In my adult life as an international jet setter I've been trying to take the same view, for forming friendships, for people nearby, for the practicality of closeness. It's not easy, my heart is still smalltown. But the vision is in my mind of sailboats anchored off the shore.

School ends, joy begins

I finished work and now I'm going to the airport.  I had to run to the train.  J made me dinner.  I keep whispering. .. I just need a day,  just an hour.  It doesn't come and I keep going.  I haven't dropped anything yet but I'm getting tired. 

I keep thinking the anonymous someone should be more amazed by me.  I need to hire an audience formy act or something. 

Can we be saved

I've been looking for the answer
Singing for a dancer
Sliding through the mock and muck
Hoping to run out of luck.

These vagabond shoes are longing to stray. I want to be a part of it: New York, New York.

If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere -it's up to you ...
