Yesterday, the Lovely Carla and I were like sharks, we were in constant motion, even at rest. Does that make sense? Well, we had a busy day, we rented a car, (a PT Cruiser) which was kind of fun, had a great stereo system and we cranked the music up loud (The White Stripes, Tom Verlaine) and matriculated through the busy streets of our thriving megalopolis.
First we headed to Invision for a Sanctuary meditation, which was all about coming home - back to the body. It was a beautiful start to the day, I went deep inside and felt totally restored and recharged.
Then it was off to a band rehearsal. We played our set with a new drummer who we want to bring into our little duo - The White Wolf & Sonic Princess. Sanjay (the drummer) is a great musician with a real nice touch, he usually plays jazz, but he quickly caught our vibe and well, the session was really amazing. I was alive and on-fire with good feeling. Some of our songs really sing with this new element. I hope it all works out.
Back home, there was a street fair, and I wandered over to listen to music. There was truly great little jazz group, The David Green Quartet that played a blistering set of superb jazz music under the viaduct. It was an un-godly hot afternoon and I had a cold ice latte, sat and let the huge sound of David Green's saxophone wash over me. The whole band was great, keyboard, acoustic bass, drums. Four musicians just letting the music transport them. They brought the little crowd right along with them.
Then it was a nice, home-cooked, pasta meal (she sings, writes songs, paints and cooks - the Lovely Carla truly does it all!), and then we called it a day. It was one of those long summer days that you wish would never end. I guess that's what we call a good one.
