Posting has taken a back seat to some planning (more below) and some family stuff, but now hopefully it’ll be more regular again. This playlist actually came about from one line of Paul Simon’s Under African Skies:
“This is the story of how we begin to remember”
Ram Dass, a yogi I admire very much, describes his mission as to “Love, serve, remember”. Remember who we are when we’re not stuck in our heads or our stories. To remember what our bodies can when we stop berating them. My mom was watching our 9-month old cousin on Monday, and I was reminded of the authenticity of toddlers- the seeming thousand noises that spontaneously come out of their mouths, their clear statements of what they want- they giggle, they cry, they coo. It reminds me to begin to remember- enjoy!
