No dancing today, but a host of other arts make this rainy day worth while. I spent my morning writing poetry, mostly for my MFA course work, but some for myself, too. I completed a series of short poems entitled, "The Wild Child Chronicles," and I am eager to know more about this character, as she unfolds in my mind. From what I know at this moment, she is spontaneous and adventurous, but she feels deeply and is empathetic towards others.
In the afternoon, I teach my Sunday yoga class to a full room. I challenge the students some, and have them rest some. I was surprised to have so many people in class today, given the glum exterior, but perhaps everyone thought there was no better reason to come to yoga! Today, I had the thought that I no longer like teaching yoga for money. I wish i was at a point in my life where I could just share it as it is supposed to be shared: an exchange of experience and energy that involves the spiritual currency, not US Dollars. It is something I have been feeling for a while now, but am not yet at a point where I can offer my time for no charge...one day.
I met briefly with my friend Diana after yoga, who is a photographer. I have been modeling for her for just a few sessions now, but she feels she's yielded some very satisfactory work from our time together. Today we attempt to shoot outside, but it is too cold and the rain only gets harder. After only about an hour, we decide to wrap it up, and try for a warmer, sunnier day later in the week.
This evening was the highlight of my day. I arrived at my friend Vanessa's house around 6:30pm, and we cooked dinner together. She made the chicken parmesan and I made the stuffed shells! CJ came, and brought salad, wine and bread. A perfect menu for a perfect girl's night! It felt good to cook. I haven't cooked anything substantial in lord knows how long, and it made me feel crafty! I even have left-overs to eat for dinner tomorrow!
G'night!
