Dancing With Lucy

Oh Monday, it’s always good to wake up today knowing I have some time for me. I’ve got some running around to do, but it’s all good.

This past Friday, I had a very short and beautiful dream. It dreamed with Lucille Ball. For a very brief moment I danced with her. First I made a sarcastic comment about her not being funny, but when we made eye contact, she knew I was kidding. She reached out and took my hand; we danced. And it wasn’t just dancing with her while dreaming; there was something magical. I felt her spirit present; there was a green light shining around her as if she had come back to let me feel her life. It’s so hard to explain in words, but it's something I will never forget.

The piece here is titled “Lucy’s Hot Pink Ball.” It is inspired from the I Love Lucy episode when she does ballet. She was so silly in it.

After a strange couple of weeks, I feel better today. Not fully back, but better. Today I will go out in the world feeling lighter.

I found this quote from the fabulous Bette Midler, I believe it’s from the ‘Rose,’ and so appropriate, almost eerie: “It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.”

Have a most beautiful week ahead!
