Left my pedometer at home today, there are moments when the wardrobe just won’t accommodate it. Thank Heavens Google maps is around! Lunchtime walk was 2.2 miles (Office, bank, Noah’s bagels, office) If I add the mile the RT walk from BART to Office I’m over 3 miles for the day. It was a gorgeous day, absolutely splendid to be outside in the sun and fresh air. Heck, it is almost beach weather at this point, let’s go!!
Walking, dancing, and shimmering down the street for lunch. We come up on a street musician playing music with a nice beat so I had to dance a little more vigorously… Then I hear him say “that’s right, shake it girl! Shake it, don’t break it!” I just had to shake it a little harder!!
I am firmly convinced that if the other people on the street would allow themselves to feel the music, the sun, and the air they would have started shaking it a little too. You know the saying “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music” (Nietzche)? Can I change it a little? “Those who hear the music but refuse to dance are a little insane”? Of course, when I was younger I would dance in line at the grocery store, my mother always scolded me because there was no music; I said it was in my head and kept dancing. Probably explains a lot about me on some deep rooted psychological level, but there is always music… Not the stuff you hear on the radio necessarily, but the rhythms of the world.
Dance, walk, smile, laugh, move – that’s what these corporeal containers are for!!!
