Wavy. . .

I feel the colours are going somewhere
The green and red it all leads me up there
And I can feel that I'm taking flight
Never something I want to fight
I let it go and it leads me to you
I see the movement on your tattoo
And I can feel that we're taking flight
Never something I want to fight

One of my favourite pastimes has to be dancing. There's just something about dancing like nobody is watching - when you know full well, that people are watching, but you choose to ignore them anyway. The best nights I've had, have been when I have been able to fully abandon myself to music, surrender to every movement that the music propels you to make. Granted I remember too that there were a lot of people not choosing to dance with the same abandon as me, but I never let that bother me. The trick is to go dancing with someone who loves dancing and being goofy like you. But where does the dancing lead you when someone approaches you?

Do you know somewhere maybe we can go?
You said you know this place
You've been there before
But with someone else
Now you're by yourself
Maybe I can float where you can glow
We can forget the past, maybe we can start
All over again, all over

That all important time of the evening - when the questions turn to where else you can go to after the dancing starts to end? Where to from here? When should the night end with that person? The thing with meeting a total stranger, is that you might not have had enough time to get to know someone to trust them to move to a new venue. The thing about meeting new people is the proposed adventure that you could go on, because you never know how things will happen. Chance meeting turn into attachments that you never saw coming. Who wouldn't a chance to start all over again? What would you do over?

Wavy when you see me
I wanna see you dancing for some time
Tell me you're not leaving
I wanna see you dancing in this light
We could move side to side, left and right
Get down
Wavy when you see me
But wanna keep on dancing for some time

I love the easy groove of this song, provided by the rhythm guitar licks and slick drumming, accented by vocal murmurs that give off a chilled ambience. This could easily be a head nodding track while on a drive, or a quiet jam with your earphones. getting lost in your own thoughts and images conjured by the lyrics. How many times have you allowed yourself to dance in the light? We should never get to a point where we don't want to dance anymore. Make time to get out and move. Go and find the light to dance in so that your inner light becomes part of the experience too. 



This trip has taken us further in time
Don't wanna see the end of this night
If you want I can stay with you
Spin around on an endless move

There are not very many opportunities to find kindred spirits and a chance to really think about whether you want the night to end. That's normally what happens when you have fun I guess. Being able to have a good time without any residual drama or underlying subtext is always something a woman strives for when she goes out. She doesn't want to invite trouble, nor cause it. But when she is up against the wall. then she will have some choices to make, and whether spending more time will be something to look forward to in the future. 

Do you know somewhere maybe we can go?
You said you know this place
You've been there before
But with someone else
Now you're by yourself
Maybe I can float where you can glow
We can forget the past, maybe we can start
All over again, all over

When new relationships start out, it will be all about creating memories and sharing spaces that you know with someone who wants to get to know you. When he is prepared to float while you glow says a lot about him being happy to be in the background while you shine. Weak men are threatened by strong women, so they will try to find ways to bring her down through gaslighting or other behaviours that reveal their weaknesses. For the most part during this honeymoon phase of meeting someone new, there is no hint of any signs of trouble. The attention focuses on the litany of questions that bombard you with expectant answers. 

Wavy when you see me
I wanna see you dancing for some time
Tell me you're not leaving
I wanna see you dancing in this light
We could move side to side, left and right
Get down
Wavy when you see me
But wanna keep on dancing for some time
So wavy
Wavy

i hope that you find opportunities to dance when you can. We should be dancing until we can no longer stand and move with total freedom. Create your own opportunities to dance, learn your traditional indigenous dances. learn other people's cultural dances, have a greater understanding and appreciation of people from all walks of life. I often think we worry too much about other people's opinions and we forget about just the pure enjoyment that we should have in this short life. Nothing is ever promised, people always break promises and people will disappoint. The best thing to do is crank up the music and just be wavy. . .

Closer. . .

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...

Have you ever seen the rain? . . .

Comin' down on a sunny day. . .  Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm I know it's been comin for some time When it's over so they say It'll rain a sunny day I know shinin' down like water Learning to be prepared for any given event is something that you should be able to do. I've recently discovered this amazing artist named Josh Tatofi.  I think the reason why I love his voice so much is because he sounds like my late husband.  The same smooth vocal line, the effortless way in which he dances along the melody line and does his own background harmonies reminds me so much of Loma's insistence on perfection when it came to singing, as much as he joked around about just singing for fun.  I love the arrangement of the song - it's fresh, easy going and laidback and it's something you can easily bob your head along to in the car or wherever you seem to be travelling to or from. I want to know Have you ever seen the rai...

God provides. . .

There's no more need to fight. . .  God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides It is easy to worry about your life.  It's what humans are built to do. We worry about so many things.  What people think of us.  How we act towards said people.  We worry about things that we cannot control, things we cannot hold.  We spend far too much time worrying about things that we shouldn't be worrying about.  When we think that nothing can come from anything, that's when God provides, above all else.  How many times have you been rescued?  Did you ask to be rescued?  Did you ask to be placed in those situations that required God to step in and save you?  Maybe yes.  Maybe no.  But one thing that I've come to know is that God has never lead me to a place that I couldn't get through, that I couldn't understand why I was lead there, that I di...
