#117 in my RECORD COLLECTION series.
For Frantzie Bazile and Michael Patterson.

Listening to Womack & Womack makes me wanna make babies.
Not in the sexy way... well, yeah, maybe, if you think of "sexy" as stability, building a strong, loving foundation & family. Which, to me, IS appealing.
They stir up feelings of wanting to be a Parent, or just the desire to pass on what I've learned. To be PART of a Tribe.
A Family of My Own.
CONSCIENCE OF MY CONSCIENCE is my favorite song, and it reminds me of one the greatest things I've learned from intenSati: the ability to step back, & observe my thoughts. We all know the line, "You are The Thinker, Not The Thought", but intenSati gives you the physical demonstration of it, and the tools to do it.

Dedicated to Kelly Barrow.

“It’s a strange lesson to learn in life that your differences, the things that make you feel uncomfortable about yourself are what will help you to grow into who you are.
Those are your gifts.”

#114 in my RECORD COLLECTION series.

When we do the COURAGE pose in intenSati, I always think of the cover of Kate Bush's RUNNING UP THAT HILL single.
Arms straight & strong, chest proud, kissing the bowstring before letting the arrow of intention go out into The World.
Courage makes your aim more true.
RUNNING UP THAT HILL was the first 12" I ever got. Where did I find it in Western North Carolina in the 80's? ROSES? SKY CITY?
Somehow, I got my hands on it. I knew about Kate Bush from Night Flight, the late night video show on the USA network (where I also learned about John Waters, Divine and Will Powers).
For hours, I would sit with the big bulky headphones, trying to decipher the message over those rolling LETS-STAY-TOGETHER beats. A message of Selfless Love. A message of Courage. A message that, to this day, is just above my head.
It will always be above my head, because as I grow older, the song grows deeper in meaning.

most people go around
thinking they're free
believing its an
easy way to be
how many times
are we told
what to do
because its RIGHT, Child,
or WRONG for you?

in your youth
did you grow & achieve
or did you throw away
the things you couldn't believe?
do you run in guilt
& in fear
from all the things
you truly hold dear?

The Universal Prisoner
makes His own bars
The Universal Prisoner
has no need for stars
He can't climb
He can't grow
& worst of all
He doesn't know

do you share yourself
& love what's inside?
or do you run to the phony world
where most people hide?
are you honest like the lilies of the field you see?
hey, ask yourself: are you truly free?

- Harris & McCann, UNIVERSAL PRISONER

Björk - BIOPHILIA

BIOPHILIA
#111 in my RECORD COLLECTION series.
Dedicated to Unkle Ken Russell, Lisi Tribble, & Paul Darling.

For me, BIOPHILIA is about our place in the multiverse. Not just humans, but all living things & their interdependence, and that by being here, we're obligated to do what we can to make it better for each other. We're all LightBearers.
The song COSMONOGY reminds me of the final scene in KEN RUSSELL's film, ISADORA DUNCAN, THE BIGGEST DANCER IN THE WORLD: a hillside full of all the world's children, running through the meadow to Beethoven's ODE TO JOY in a state of glorious ecstasy.
I think of Isadora Duncan and her drive to teach dance as a means of artistic expression, not as entertainment, not for commercial purposes, but the spiritual & healing aspects of movement... and how that's echoed in Björk's BIOPHILIA education program, tracing the lines connecting Music & Science (like my dream where I learned that Art & Medicine were the same thing).
"MY DREAM OF BEAUTY WILL NEVER DIE!!!", Isadora declared. I feel the same way.
Maybe teaching is how I can spread The Light. Sure, my art will live after I'm gone, but its only a material thing. It would be so much more gratifying if I helped other people realize their own dreams of beauty.
