Suspended in Sound
I’ve been working really hard to learn five songs with Kit Krash for an upcoming show in the next couple of days. It seems like this is how we work, nothing slow and steady. It’s a real brain bender to do it this way – and it’s good. I love the immersion. Though, it means I almost have to drop everything else – I have to make time for paid work, meals, relationships.
I wish it was sustainable, allowing music to be the focus of everything.
The instability of where I am living is actually lovely, I’m landing and I’m lucky and I’m grateful. I know, too, that I will need to stabilize soon. I don’t know how I’m going to pay it all back – I’m trusting I will know when I know.
Now is a gift, worry is a waste.
I feel in suspension with my mother transitioning toward death. I’ve been hanging out in this place for over a year – I’m with her at the mouth of the cave, but I can’t go in. I can dance and sing and make art and recite poetry. I can be a witness.
Sometimes I touch my mother’s face and we look into one another’s eyes and all time comes together at that moment, that’s all there is. And it’s all I can do.
And for now, right now, I get to howl and yowl.
