I had this strange period of days when I could not turn any music on. I was fearful. That’s the best way I can describe it. Then I did. This song came on and I felt like it broke me open again. I made this video. (It’s really best if you can view it full screen with headphones on and volume high.)
Gorgeous song by Sufjan Stevens. If the song sounds familiar, I had already used it in a video in August of 2010. Here is my older version. Please share it if you like it. Thanks!

Shiny dreams of pink satin, the quest for otherworldly grace and worthiness. These I let go of too.

This is a gift for my friend, Michael. If you’ve seen me dance with a guy here on the blog- that’s Michael. Some years ago, seven? Eight? I found myself at the bottom of a well, very far from myself. I wanted to dance. I emailed him and he said I could come to Amsterdam to work with him. We hadn’t seen each other in a bunch of years. Michael? You totally saved me. And you taught me everything I know about improvisation and lots about hard work and love and leaving my hair down. Happy birthday. This one’s for you.
Save Me by Aimee Mann from the Magnolia soundtrack.

In Tara Brach’s Radical Acceptance she suggests that when difficult feelings come up, things we don’t want to think about, scary dark places take over, say to yourself, “This Too”.
Be with it. Don’t run.
I say the same about all the different parts of myself. The Easily digested and The Harder to swallow.
So this video came together and I am saying….This too. (The vid was recorded to a Lupe Fiasco song, but when I overlaid this one it practically edited itself.)
Closer, Nine Inch Nails
