Are you heading to any music or festivals this summer? We started off this past weekend with our neighborhood ComFest (community arts and music festival). It’s been going on in our park for 51 years.
Obviously, the stilt walker was at our festival. She was one of two. I can’t imagine. Even this bit of height would turn my stomach, but they were so happy and smiley.
Other things floating my boat…
Did you hear about this wacky and amazing science-y discovery that is blowing all the scientists brains this week? The papers were released on the 28th and wow! If you like time and space stuff, check it out.
OH! I have a new video of a super simple and highly effective psoas release that also works, of course, on your diaphragm and your nervous system. Go here and look under “shorts.” It’ll be the first one with me looking way up at the camera. And if you get something out of it, make sure to like, comment, and/or subscribe. (Thank you!)
Speaking of YouTube:
Something new from one of my favorite dance companies.
My favorite creator who talks about her different brain and burnout and how she’s healing that.
Have you ever watched any of the videos by this Chinese creator? She lives in the mountains on her grandparents’ farm and does every freaking thing by hand and traditional methods. Watching her cook or build something is so freaking soothing to me. She also practices traditional arts like calligraphy… just whoa.
For my Butoh loving peeps, here’s a short video of Kauo Ohno (one of the founders) talking about technique and motivation.
For my book lovers, here are a few of my recent faves, but you can always just look at my goodreads.
For specific books:
I’m about 2/3s of the way through Lisa See’s most current book. ANYTHING SHE WRITES is worth your time.
I loved Louise Erdrich’s most recent. She just never misses the mark.
And someone told me to read this Rebecca Solnit quite a while ago. I love her work and am loving this too.
What’s floating YOUR boat?
