heart beat, beat, beat

This is an ode to my tiny dancer....Miss Alicia Danzig
She brought her music in to the room, so much so that it is going to be the rhythm of my river to fish through...for ever....
I believe this girl started dancing in the womb....probably to the sound of first listening to her mothers heart beat, and then finding it in her own....
There were the days....
when a bunch of us party kids pushed everything out of our existence except the pulse of our nerves sharpened around the
needle, hit track,
and then
bass, breath,
making music love and laughing with out a care in the world....
It was a dance....
It is a dance....

all that is needed is the drum sound, coming from your chest...when all else is silent, or there is entirely too much noise....find your music there

and dance


and dance

and don't ever stop...
as the rush comes..

I got to dance to this version for Gabriel and Dresden...and the second it hit, I melted in to water, that I will never stop swimming through....
In the SWAY of my blue smile

showing the red heart, behind my teeth....all the while

The Song pushes out all the music inside of me,
til the the room turns to city, and the city turns to sound,

Turning bright what ever hell I have been through
in to the flaming symphony of burning to the ground

To rise out of me wings born from ash,
and the
beat,
the beat,
the beat,

My hips become feathers heaving,
the flight of a solar heat.

Leaving everything behind me
to hold only
the moment of this chance

Everything in me moving
to let go....
except that choice I make
to dance.

Heart lesson number one

These are short stories that span the lessons that impacted me the most, as told through pictures:
" Rudy"

I Once Lived with a "hippie" named Rudy.
Rudy wore the same black pants every day.
They had a patch sewn on to them that said
" You don't have to Fuck people over to Survive...."


Rudy liked to take me on " burn" cruises...we were a couple of Marijuana dreamers chasing the morning....Rudy mostly liked chasing the joggers, by rolling down his window as we passed them to yell
" You are only running from YOURSELF!"




....after a few weeks of this....I felt like I was the one that finally heard these words the loudest....
