Sometimes the only thing that gets me through life is..movement. Today I am feeling it really strong. Im sitting here wising I was somewhere else, living a different, more exciting life. I keep thinking to myself "there has got to be more to life than just this...the same routine daily of going to work, being a parent, and sleeping just to do it again??" I know that there are blessings behind these things but honestly I want to live a more purposeful life. I have friends living over seas teaching their children different languages/culture, others that are working their dream job, and others that shoot the breeze feeding their souls healthy foods. Just doing them you know what I mean. Thats the life I have always seen for myself, but the logical thinker in me sometimes prevents that.
So instead I use the beat of music to speak to my soul and dance it all away...the worries, the thoughts, the angst, all of it. They call it the talkin drum for a reason, whether its capoeira, samba, west african, neo-soul, hip hop, it all speaks to me in a different way. But its the thing im thankful for today. Here are todays inspirations:
1. Willie Colon: Dia de Suerte
2. Grupo de Capoeira Pelorinho: O Nega Que Vende Al
3. India Arie: Private party
