Saturna

the other night i was downtown playing on the trolley tour with my girls Funke and Miss Kai. we were having a blast, really enjoying a cooler night, lots of people, and deep house and broken beat in the open air. some random guy from Switzerland came up wanting to know about my music, said he needed to find some like it. at that moment i was playing some of this more german crossover stuff - very techno, but deep and vocal. he nailed when he said he could listen to it in his living room or in a warehouse.

we talked a little bit more and then he asked me, "how did you grow up in memphis and turn out so normal? you are a freak, and you are free. these are good things!"

it was nice to hear that. the energy here is so thick, most times i feel like i am breathing under water and that i am not accomplishing my goals and that i am distinctly not free. sometimes someone else's perspective can help us see ourselves in a better light.

these past few weeks have been hard, emotionally and physically. i am working through a lot and most days i feel like i am not being heard. i ask for peace, acceptance, kindness. and i ask myself to be kinder in dealing with myself and others, as well.
