This week has been weird today the least. As I am adjusting into a Fall routine, I ended the week with a bang and sickness. Life has been picking up substantially and as my only goal is to ensure I am always centered and balanced, it is becoming a juggling act once more.
For me, Fall always brings out the inner critic as days are shorter and my lists of to-do’s remains at it’s peak length, matching the Yang energy of Summer. This Fall, I have decided to keep daily lists short to three items only, and if something does not get accomplished, it is not rolled over to the next available day but placed in a queue to be completed when deemed necessary. Due to this new system, I do have a deadline I am weeks behind on, and life keeps seemingly pushing it further and further away from me however, I know that I will get to it soon.
As I am on the precipice of a new chapter in my music career, I would like to invite you all formally to mark your calendars for December 8th at the Golden Gate Bandshell for my final show of 2021. The time is set at 5 pm, but I would suggest you arrange to arrive a bit earlier as sometimes set times change. Make it a date and bring some friends along too. Fall and Winter can be hard for so many, and we need to make sure we check on one another-people do not always wear their sadness on their faces.
With a new year approaching, I can only remain hopeful that life will bring me exactly what I have been looking for. No longer am I sad, lonely, or unfulfilled, it seems that Fall has brought along the blessing of self-fulfillment. Shorter days, earlier bed times, and more reading in bed has seemingly balanced my energy, and I am enjoying the start to persimmon season, my absolute favorite fruit.
With Winter soon to arrive and listening to the sounds of a gentle Atmospheric River outside my window, I look forward to sharing even more of my grandiose vision of what my artistry will become in 2022. Now is an excellent time for planning how to follow through with the ideas in my mind. I am still in search of film photographers locally so if you have anyone in mind who is local to California, please let me know.
I have titled this piece A Weird One because I am in a somewhat delirious state as I am still sick, and it was a very very strange week, fraught with synchronicities, closures, odd dreams, and new boundaries setting.
