brrrtitude

i am grateful for:

1) heat

2) the smell of steam

3) pema: “when you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it’s bottomless, that it doesn’t have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. you begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.”

4) me and holly

5) pissed-off early feminists who trampled trails so we don’t have to quite so much. r.i.p., mary daly.

6) eggs

7) strength

8) “sita sings the blues”‘ run being extended at ifc

9) pro-action

10) lunch with a.

11) dancers who do amazing things with their bodies. what does it to your mind when you can bend and swoop and curve and curl like that with your body?

12) running into a friend just off a world music tour, with the sweet hawaii coming off of him in waves. i miss hawaii. i am grateful it exists.

13) feeling 17 a little, in a good way

14) yoga at integral. actual yoga. not bitch yoga. nice-to-yourself yoga. i like both but need more of the latter. it is the stuff of full wells. nectary.

15) magenta

16) this feeling of doing life for reals–paying bills, doing dreams, etc.

17) knowing so many water lillies are at moma right now. oh, water lillies. and how my friend’s italian described them tonight in the cold–“each one you can feel the emotion underneath it, from underneath the water.” they’re the clichest and so so beautiful. oh and also that at the ayurveda place tonight, after speaking of waterlillies, amidst the ganeshes was a monet print. of course.

18) goddess rising

19) being looked at like that
