windows open, dark coffee

Gemini
Overview: Make sure you've got some means to record ideas on you today, whether it's pen and paper or something high-tech. Inspiration is simply pouring out of you, and you don't want to miss even one word.

Accomplishing things is the name of the game, and the stars give you double your usual powerful punch, especially when it comes to budgetary concerns. If you've got a goal you're working toward -- paying off debt, saving up for a big trip -- you'll find yourself laying down concrete plans and taking confident strides toward accomplishing it. It'll all happen sooner than you think, especially if you concentrate on one day at a time.

woke up still groggy. eyes tired from late night working on the computer. I am working on lining up contacts for NYC trip, and the Teva shoot with Kish next week. Dad(Running) is going to shoot Kalvin Bizahaloni for Canyon Records tomarrow. It will be another project we get to colaborate on toghter. There's wedding fotos to post, but I'm still on the learning curve; these past few datys, weeks, I have been learing so much! Inspiration overflowing, the possibiliites endless. I feel like a lucky crap shooter rolling sixes. I love where my new website is going, and how all these elements are actually, becoming connected.

Last night Nicci invited me to see this performance at the local community theatre, THEATROKOS. An Egyptian/African dance troupe does there thing to Led Zepellin...it was amazing! Woman of ages, shapes, and sizes, glittering, sparkling, undulating,
shaking the earth with their hips, and soft carress of their feet, hands weaving air, and balance and grace. One of the women,
her daughter of about seven, also performed...what an experience for her; it's exactly what I wished I could have done at seven. I was struck by how stong and sensual each woman was, and I felt I was witnessing what it must have been like when the Goddess was revered in ancient cultures; the temples full of music, perfume, mysticism;when sensuality was honored, and women, reverved; Each a perfect facet to the gem, reflecting light. I am inspired to do a set of portraits of each of the dancers, and ask them why they are drawn to the dance, and what dancing means to them. I want to belly dance when I'm sixty and be connected to my body and self expression. I want to be seven, and be surrounded by amazing women who share
with me, their strength, and joy of self. I want to go out today , get me some Zepplin and sign up for a dance class.
