There is something wonderful that I have a connection to. It is something deeper that exists within. I was going through listening to my own music and then listening to some songs I may sing during some upcoming gigs. I realized after listening, there are some artists that just take me to a deeper place. One artist, is Sade. I love all her songs, and smooth sensual style. One song she sings is, "Kiss of Life". It is so descriptive, so romantic, and peaceful. It just takes me to a different place. There is an ambience behind the music, and it seems each musician, plays their specific part to make the song sing a beautiful serenity of love. In addition, when she sings, there is a divine romance between her and the music. It is beautiful. When I hear it, I get it, I feel it, I sense it.
This past week has been an interesting one for me to say the least. A lot of new things are happening for me all at once. It's so funny when you speak of the things you want, how all of a sudden, these things want you, and they find you. No need for you to chase anything. Your desires begin to chase you. I just said a little prayer one day to allow me to grow, and move in the direction of that deeper place. Allowing myself to surrender to it. I want to take the plunge and just swim in doing what I want to do, when I want to do it. No matter what happens, no matter what's happening around me, just being in tune to what that deeper place of creativity is. Last weekend, I went there. And wow, I was onstage, and just let go. It was a beautiful space. It was a great feeling. I think I felt that "kiss of life".
On a side note, I woke up this morning to a shocking text. My homeboy D, told me that his Aunt had passed. This woman was vibrant and fun, and had an amazing faith. She was a nurse, and always preached, see your health care professional because they are here on Earth for a reason. She was diagnosed with cancer and sometimes I would see her when I would take my mom to the doctor. She would always ask about my mom and say something encouraging. Something told me one day to just go and get her something. No rhyme, no reason. Just do it, and do it now. I admit, I have a fling with procrastination sometimes, but not this time, I acted and did it. I'm glad that I did. She had the biggest smile and even though she was a little weak physically, the joy inside her came to life. I saw her a few times afterward, but I let her know then, that she was appreciated.
It's okay to tell people you love them, to speak what they mean to you, and to show honor and appreciation just because. Sometimes I just feel like telling someone, "hey, you are beautiful", or, I think you are special". The reminder that we are all still yet beautiful, and love is there, loving us through it all, can be the most beautiful kiss to experience. Just deciding to live in it, no holding back, leaving the fling with procrastination, and allowing life to kiss you with the deepest passion. I'm smiling because I know its happening now. I'm releasing anything that doesn't align with that kiss. It's an awesome feeling, because I'm not holding back and it's chasing me now. I'm smiling because I know I'm about to deep tongue life, and dayum, I'm a great kisser. Well until next time, Peace.
