Woke up in shock with the rest of the sane world this morning at the election of Trump. Genevieve in tears. Such a serious set back.  Ugh.

But walking the girls to school, some hope:

"Girls, did you hear that Hillary lost last night?"

Sofia says, "Who won?"

"Trump."

Long pause...

"Well, when I grow up I guess I will become the first woman president."

That's our girl. Tears came to my eyes and I high fived her.

"Why do you like that so much?" she asked.

Because it is optimistic.

"What is optimistic mean?" asked Lucia.

So I explained the difference between optimism and pessimism. Seemed so apt!

After walking them to school I meditated, which helped enormously. And then I danced. A powerful one two combo.

My upstairs neighbor asked, "Random question...nt sure if you're home. Im' noticing the floor and windows are shaking. Any ideas why?"

"I'm dancing. I can try in basement though."

"Ha, no big deal. Sounds like fun."

"Yeah a good way to shake the blues." 

Joel Davis' Terrasonic show from Nov. 5 gave me the soundtrack for a great dance, which hit a full on beautiful pitch by the time he got to the DJ Nu-Mark track 45 minutes in.

Morning Dance at Candlewood lake. Past a few joggers and it occurs to me that everybody is listening to music, but very few people are moving to the music. I can hardly help but move to the music. Is it fear that keeps people from moving to the music when they run? Because I can't believe that they are not feeling the music. Jumped in the lake afterward. Stand there and look at my reflection in the rippling gem of the water. Then dive in, fully alive. I open my eyes underwater and see opaque green. painted bridge painting set out for trash trolling! nice shape mail fish ?? good find

Thinking this morning about the world. Listening to TerraSonic, the magic carpet ride around the world, as I float down Roosevelt Avenue. Roosevelt Avenue is underneath the 7 train so it feels like an endless tunnel. As my friend Steve Nickson says, it is a tunnel of ethnicity. As Colin Quinn pointed out there are 120 languages spoken along this way. It is remarkable that I have come from Kansas, monoculture, to this, possibly the most diverse place on earth. And what I choose to listen to is dance music from all around the world. I am taking a bath in the culture of the world and I like it. Speed All The classic (side of a truck)
