Finding new music again.
It is the kind of music that reminds you to work out what you can do with your inheritance, like how sometimes people can enjoy exercising because it releases endorphins and such...and by letting the mind wander, the weirdest things come back sometimes. Staring at a gigantic Xerox machine in an office in the 1980s and trying to decipher the mysteries of the adult world. There was a child who was curious about such things. That is different from the child who watched the barista working at the espresso cart, or the one who found it painful to even have a small exchange with the cashier on the ferry boat, or the one who got entranced by all the colorful cosmetics in the drugstore, or still wanted to play with a wooden toy train, or learn about Tarot, or...

Heard a mourning dove, an owl, many I cannot identify, and a rooster.
Someone is keeping chickens out here in the suburbs.
So I was thinking about how my life threw some interesting xperiences at me, and how sometimes I suffered because of not feeling understood, and I know I need to develop the parts of me that love nature and also the parts that have a more spiritual outlook on things.
Just sitting outdoors and listening to the creatures that make songs in the early morning helps me get in touch with all of that.
~~~~~
I was walking around and feeling that story come back and thinking about how 15 or 16 in another time and culture is what 18 or 19 is to us now.
They didn't have the same books...

There's an undercurrent...it goes...drive behind the car that has the "Rad Not Rich" license plate holder and I say, so I remember it late at night, and wonder why I was trained to have a humble life while others were encouraged to put more things out into the world (isn't it strange) and when I was a younger person falling asleep to a tape of classical music in Michigan wasn't I in touch with something kinda out there but great as well.

I appreciate the trees...I am supposed to move soon, and then they won't be next to me anymore...the sun makes me think of the beach. 🌊 🏖 ⛱
What else is there to pursue in life? Learning to appreciate nature or to play music could be a better use of time.
There are reasons this resonates.
Wham! - "Everything She Wants"
One reason it resonates could be because it is like a personality talking to the muse. Saying, what do you want from me? What do you want me to make? It hasn't been so much about the money. Something else, maybe.
There was a younger self who was sometimes teased, but also befriended by fairer and thinner girls, who suffered a moment of such low-self-esteem that when she admired the shadow of a girl with long bouncing hair, the automatic reaction was that she would never be like that...
Guess what, that's your own shadow you were looking at.
Slightly relieved...the park of colorful classic cars & watermelon beach balls was obstructed by traffic snarls...an ache in the mouth near a crown triggered a fear of death due to medical neglect...not far from the mind were immigrant workers and low income women who are most likely to suffer...some guy on the radio, with his cheery celebrate-the-male-veterans-sounding-voice made me very aware of feeling stuck in a lower place in the world...needed to change whatever created that headspace of despair...might burn some sage and drink water and be thankful the mouth feels better now and try some other sort of excursion later.
reminded me of taking Earth Science in summer school for some reason.
Interesting to note the time frame (June 2018 or thereabouts, with varying degrees of intensity) in which my mouth began destroying many t-shirts and skirts.
And jacket sleeves.
Hey, kid, I went home and found out this song was a lot older than I thought it was. Because I thought it was a Def Leppard 1980s or early 90s type of thing. What a mix-up.

Two women I spoke with did not like the sound of what was going on with people at the end of that Zoom call yesterday. A MAN didn't think it sounded so great, either.

Other women just get away with making excuses and receiving short-term benefits from not getting too controversial.
Whatever did his pamperedness grow up to become when he was constantly rewarded for mediocrity and no one expected anything better.
Whole supposedly comfortable lifestyles are based on habits that were rooted in fear and dishonesty and looking away and relying on a truly self-limiting cushioning of "safety." That's a response to being taught that ignoring other people's experiences is the way to go about doing things.
That One is a Man, so he gets told that he gets to act out how society's screwed-up standards have affected him however he pleases, penalty-free.
That One is a woman, so she should bear witness and get penalized. Again. Not like this hasn't happened before. Not so Coddled, like he is.
That's just too bad for her.
Unless of course she Coddles Man who Acts Out and finds a way to get some benefit out of society's screwed up standards at the expense of lots and lots of others.

"Hemingway sipped gin..."
Couldn't find it, couldn't find it...Oh there it is.
D. Garner:
"There is excellent writing in this book about flying on Chinese airlines in the early 1940s, bouncing in the air 'like a butterfly in a hurricane.' Landing strips, when located, were lit by flare pots. On one flight Hemingway carried with him a folding menstrual cup, from which he sipped gin.
Gellhorn gives an account of using the toilet while on another flight in China. It was 'behind a green curtain' and 'gave a small circular view of the ground below.'
Some of this book's rolling comic tone comes from the author's experiences with toilets (or the lack of them) across remote regions. Inevitably they are either overflowing or the room has spiders; one loo 'ejects water at the sides.'
'I planned to go mad,' she writes after one filthy toilet experience. At another point, while in Chad, she reports, 'The latrine broke my lion heart.' She couldn't face it, so she wandered out on the sand in her nightgown.
Gellhorn was always on the lookout for epiphanies, and on this night she had one. She 'saw, drugged with sleep and shivering, the great African sky which I have been seeking -- a riot of stars, velvet black, felt as an arch, and the air seeming to glint with starshine.'
She loathed big-game hunters and all despoilers of nature. She was constitutionally anti-authority. 'I mistrust power for myself and everyone else, especially power bestowed by race, creed or color.'
Among her observations about the power dynamics in romance is that people are often pried apart by 'boredom, the real killer in human relations. We do not laugh at the same jokes. We bore each other sick.'
No one will have trips quite like these again. The world has become a smaller place; it is harder to get as thoroughly lost as Gellhorn frequently did. The size of her expense account with Collier's, necessary to escape from tough situations, will rarely be seen again either."

Films...they can help.
I thought this & about how it felt much better to listen to an interviewer talking to an actor about that one ground-breaking film, because listening to them was actually inspiring, and I was happy the movie helped them express their viewpoints. Whereas what I heard in a different interview the other day (and I didn't listen to the whole thing) was not on the same level at all as far as communicating deep respect or understanding of some people's traumatic experiences. It mostly made me think about how the messages you receive growing up can affect you for a long time, and how the interviewer changes his tone depending on who he's interviewing.

Voice:::::::: OH, well, you see, music tells me I've probably been a man before, and also a woman before, and I'm sure there are so many other possibilities, but DEFINITELY NOT BORN OR RAISED LIKE A MAN IN THIS LIFE, and I wonder why this topic is more threatening to some people than the topic of being transgender, and I have some ideas as to why that might be...
Actually, I take part of that back. A lot of us were raised to be more like a man, even more than we realized.

"Sanders, who eventually condemned the 'Bernie Bro' behavior, understood something that Yang, who’s stayed silent while his supporters harass women online, refuses to: While you can’t control your supporters, as the candidate, you set the boundaries of what’s acceptable and what isn’t. When Yang allows a group of men to refer to women as “b*tches,” he leads by example. When he laughs at the thought of choking us, he sets a tone that his supporters can’t help but follow. And trust me, they do follow."
