Going Dark, Winter Yin and Self-Love

 Listen to this: " In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida 2006 Remastered full length " Art is my lover. This is what I imagine they sound like in song form. At least one of the songs. Maybe I posted it before? Maybe I should add it to my "Make things" playlist? I never update that playlist.  Yes, I will come with you. I will walk this land with you. 6min 20 seconds and the rest of the song is sooo my soul. agggghhhh Time to go Dark Where there's Darkness there's Danger  (the whale sound gets me a little bit. the depths...)That song and this playlist , "Dark and Deviant" (Shawnster made the playlist. I love Shawns style so much. He's a cool cat) Time to write like its my other other other full time job! Heeding the call of my lover.

Snot rags everywhere, ginger teas, Star Wars. BLAGHH This is my lot for working with tons of people.  Touch: surprise, wanted or unwanted and the grey areas I love and crave touch. Most forms make me happy.   In the past week I went to a conference, attended a robotics competition with a couple hundred teens and went to a packed night club. Lots of people shaking hands, hugging, high fives, dancing etc. Lots of different touch going on.    At the night club I looked down a few times to see if Shawn's hand was on me or someone else's!
