today i saw a street-band--Los Pinguos. Santa Monica, California. I bought there cd, but that is only the start of a story about magic.
Tragedy lives in our soul, yet we dance--we dream always of tomorrow.
In magic is promice, in a wish fulfilled, even as life passes by.
There is nothing beyond the dance--it opens a door--Eleggua's door. Do you enter? Will you take this chance? As life dances, so do the chances.
The wolf has taught me to move through the world with an impartial view-- I am allowed to experience, but carry no commentary, no real opinion. Yet I will always know this
ingredient of thought, that this mix of perception is my own--who ever the hell I am.
And today I knew magic again--not that I had forgotten--but today magic was alive in my eyes--for a moment --for eternity--and i was in awe. Human magic--born of passion and dance, and beauty.
Early in the day I ran across this girl searching the street. I knew she had lost something--but being the wolf I passed by. By accident, later, we caught each others eye--and so I asked her if there not something she was looking for? With only a trace of hesitation she told mde she had lost her belly button ring.
"That's a bummer," is all I said, and wished her luck.
I will tell you this much about me--not much escapes me in this world. Unless I'm dreaming, or dancing, or drunk, I'm
HERE. I know Desire, and I know Beauty, and I know this world is made of sand, but what am I to do?
Later, as I walked down the street I heard this music. Happy music--sexy music--passionate music. I was drawn to it, like a moth to a flame. I stopped to listen, and I could not deny the fire in my blood. I loved it--I'm listening to it right now,
And then, that girl I met, earlier in the day, stood up and began to dance.
She was with the band--and why not--such beauty, and fire, afraid of nothing--she showed her passion, her heart to the world.
I've lived in the world a while, been in some real seedy places, seen a lot of stuff I'd rather forget, but today I was in the presence of magic--Beauty and Fire, and Music--laughing, always leaning towards tomorrow, never afraid of expressing the truth of the moment--rising above the Tired,
the Trivial-- and living in your veins forever--a pulse--a promice--YOU ARE ALIVE.
You should have seen her dance--the ocean was was..........
