Day 57:

The computer screen is asking me to "Take a Mindful Moment." But really it's a banner asking me to sign up to receive emails so I can be informed about what's wrong with the world, including my body and how their site can help me. I close the page. More negative information is not what I need. Let's not dwell on what's wrong with the world, including me and get on with living. If I need some counselling I'll go for a walk. Heading to the Botanical Gardens today for a Mindful Stroll.

Day 55: Lift, Relax

Hello Monday. My walk today is the doctors, along with another x-ray thrown in for good measure. Lift, relax, lift, relax is my mantra as I walk.

Day 54:

What happened to my morning. my day in fact as it's now bedtime and I realise that I haven't written in my journal today. My walk yesterday was an evening stroll in downtown Singapore around Marina Bay with the hope of catching a couple of few outdoor shows and dance dancing lessons with the da:ns festival. Our timing was perfect as we arrived just as the Sri Lankan contemporary dance group was emerging onto the stage with a full entourage of drummers. However I need to listen to my body as it beckons me to turn home for rest, so no late night (viewing of) street dancing for me. This is my current learning curve, to listen to my body when it speaks calmly and quietly to me, rather than wait until it screams at me blue murder which is often too late to simply go home and rest. Yes, it's a lifetime of lessons that I teach myself  through experience first hand.

Day 53:

I'm excited to confirm that my first live viewing of a Pina Bausch performance was enlightening  and also uplifting. One of the numerous arts festivals held in Singapore is da:ns festival which brings world-class productions to the island along with (world class) local performances plus free shows, mass dance lessons and workshops for local dance students, professionals and  enthusiasts like me, Yes, there was lots of walking in Pina's piece "Nelken" (Carnations). Processions of walking by the whole troop, in lines, crisscrossing and in organised chaos. Bruce commented on my glow on returning home. I said if I'm unable to walk at least I can be in the audience viewing greatness. Blessed
