On the homeward stretch of tai chi's 108 movements.
As I've been practicing the kick sequence in the middle of the tai chi form, it has me thinking of the dances choreographed by Martha Graham. Was talking to Pup about it tonight. We looked up Lamentations by Martha Graham and found the following video of Ms. Graham dancing. A friend, who used to dance, was telling me about Martha Graham and the dance movement she help found. Apparently there are movements in modern dance and a dance philosophy in general that are unique to this dance form. Even the contraction and stretch within the movement is different.
Here's the YouTube of Ms.Graham dancing her original work, Lamentations. It's the first time I've seen here dance. I've seen photographs of here dancing and I've seen others recreate her work, but actually seeing her dance is a treat.
I'm saving this series of videos for later conversation with Pup. I really do wish that Billy were here to talk to Pup about dance and about Ms Graham. Plus I'd love for Pup to talk to Billy. I used to love to talk to him because we would pull from all kinds of ideas in order to understand a process. Pup does it too. If a movement of an atom would express and idea in dance? Both of them would use it to illustrate the point.
This is supposed to be Martha Graham dancing and not someone recreating her work.
If you aren't familiar with her work, Martha Graham was one of the founders of the Modern Dance movement. It's apparently unique with it's own dance theory. Supposed to be different than ballet.
Anyway the kick sequence in the second part of the tai chi form is very much like Martha Graham to my eye.
Who came first? I'm thinking it would be Tai Chi. Would love to ask Ms Graham if she was aware of the TaiChi movements. Hopefully someone did ask.
.
G'night, We're actually feeling much better here.
Hugs,
Ann

Was talking to Pup about the similarities between Martha Graham and Master Moy's 108 Tai Chi kick sequence. He mentioned seeing the dance group Mummenschanz on the DVD of the first season of The Muppet Show. Off we went to YouTube. Sure enough there are similarities.
Which led us to this video by Mummenschanz
.Pup's quick.
I wish Billy were alive to talk to Pup. He'd have had much to say and Pup would have had much to share in the conversation. Now I wish that I could have Master Moy, Martha Graham, the folks from Mummenschanz, Billy, Pup, WB, and myself in the same room to talk about influences in movement and dance.
Sigh. T'would be a good conversation.
Got to go. Sleep for me and Pup needs the computer. BBL
Don't you just love YouTube.
I'm getting that "time to sleep" feeling.
.Back later.

We're in the middle of a cough and cold hurricane. Honest to mercy, I'm leaking fluids or coughing them up from all bodily orifices.
It's not pretty to have tissue stuffed up your nose because the cough meds quit working and the next dose hasn't started.yet.
So far?
I've yelled at the dog, yelled at Pup, yelled at WB, and whined at the LLShow about how bad I feel.
(LOL Like Craig Ferguson could actually hear me.)
Last night I was particularly fuzzy and missed Trace Adkins sing Million Dollar View.
Heck, and heck again.
When I went looking I found the song, I found this one instead.
So I'm posting it instead.
But that's not the point of this post.
The point is that I've been a bit under the weather and very cranky. Add to this that Pup is also under the weather and cranky and you have alot of cranky.
At the moment he's declining my offer to make hot cocoa and is suggesting I go back to bed.
Good idea.
But
That's not why I'm posting this AM.
Nope.
I'm posting about someone who's working hard this AM and is by all the signs, fixin' to get sick too.
This is for WB.
You're welcome WB.
Thank you for rubbing my back, getting us chicken soup, getting us tissues and thermometers and cough medicine.
Yes, we are VERY fond or the NyQuil and that Mucinex stuff is great.
I'm grateful for the gallons of ginger ale and orange juice so that we can keep hydrated.
And when I can keep my eyes open?
Thank you for the books and the videos.
But mostly thank you for hugging our viral infested necks and saying, "Hang in there. You're going to get better soon." knowing that at any minute we could sneeze and expose you to our cold and cough germs.
Still you hugged our necks.
And now you're sneezing.
Yes, we will try to take good care of you while you are sick.
Yes, you can whine about it.
Yes, we will buy you the name brand tissues with the aloe and lotion in it so that our noses don't look like Rudolph the Reindeer.
And, no, we won't make seasonal comments if your nose turns red.
Instead?
(If we can. Hey, we are still sick ourselves.)
We will plump your pillows.
We will bring you juice.
We will make you chicken soup.
We will even put your "...cootie infested, used tissues..." into the waste basket when they land on the floor because you are just to weak to throw it with accuracy.
We will understand that just throwing it in any random direction is indeed a Herculean effort worthy of understanding.
And, WB, yes, we will put extra salt into the "healthy" chicken soup because, yes, we agree that when you have a cold stuff already tastes bad. You need the extra salt.
Your welcome for putting the towels on the windows of your car last night.
I'm glad that you didn't have to clean frost off of your windows.
No, I didn't have a problem going out in the cold to do it. I was feeling feverish at the time. Needed the cold air.
And WB?
After staying up late to rub my back and get us all settled in?
It was the least I could do.
Hugs, WB.
Don't get too sick and hurry up and get well. We've got places to go and lots to do. Having fun and an adventure is an art. And this hear Slacker is a master of the art. While I might not have to go anywhere to see a "million dollar view"? I'm certainly going to. Will be glad to have the company on the trip.
Oh and WB? One more thing.
That guy on tv may be funny and good looking, but you?
You really are a "million dollar view".

Today a young man is laid to rest.
In the arms of the Earth his body will lie.
Each day he will become more and more a part of the land.
While above his mother and father will walk the Earth asking,
"Is love alive?"
He was 17.
.
A long time ago in a different place and time, my love and I waited for a son to be born. It was a terrible struggle to get him here but come he did. When we held him crying, we told him that it would be okay. We were there to help him. There to keep him safe.
I feel asleep believing this.
Then I woke up.
His life was brief but his lesson is with me always.
It was the reason why I stopped to ask,
"How can I help?"
We are the family of man.
The universe is vast.
Our boat is so small.
"Is Love alive?"
I think so.
So to the mother and to the father who I met on that cold road?
This day your kind son and my son are playing in Heaven.
They feel no pain.
There, they are spared the troubles of this world.
In the arms of the angels, their days are sunny and kind.
While we struggle here with the dark of the world wondering if we are good enough for Heaven?
They were spared that struggle.
God, seeing this extrodinary kindness in them, spared them the pain of this world.
He took them home.
Be kind to one another and have faith.
We will all be together someday.
Is love alive?
Yes.
I know that it is.
.
Hugs,
Ann

"I keep readin' about how Alabama doesn't deserve to play in the BCS bowl.
It's got me wondering.
If they're so bad and you're so good?
How come ya'll ain't playin' ? "

My daddy asked me
When I was three
"Can you? Will you? Be tougher'n me?"
This game is the one that giants play on any Saturday all over. From the Cascade Mountains to the Florida swamps to the Cali streets to mid west farmers. All tribes of one school or another. All claiming bragging rights and flying colors. The people who play? They be giants. The fans? Tougher than nails.
Football in the deep south is different. Tougher because the fans are tough. They build ships that cross oceans and outter space. They work oil rigs in some of the harshest conditions.. Life gives them little but they make it fierce. Their champions have to be tougher than the rest because their fans are. They play hard because they live and love life hard. That's what I hope will come to this game between LSU and 'Bama. Play hard. Show the rest of the football tribes just what football is about and why you are there.
Because you are the best.
Cut from the Earth.
Baked by the Sun.
Hurricane and tornado.
Instead of blood.
Bayou or back woods?
Giants all.

Hope that everyone has a great month and a happy entry into the new year
The Zen Experiement this summer worked great. Have a full "already done list" for the year.
Only 5 more moves left to learn in tai chi and still have one more month to go.
Going to be a busy year in 2012.
Ciao,
Ann
The following was posted earlier but it's a good message for 2012.
Be different.
Be astronauts.
Be explorers.
Be teachers.
Be students.
Interview the world and change your inner view.
The next face you see.
Maybe they see the world different.
Ask them what they see.
And then?
Pay attention.
You may see the world like they do.
Or?
You could see the world in a whole new way.
Perfect.
Happy holidays and happy New Year.

They call them the Crimson Tide because when they come at you it's like a huge wave of red.
"I'll put you through Hell, but at the end of it all, we'll be champions."
Paul "Bear" Bryant
There're people here who say that the fact that they "bleed red" has nothing to do with biology and everything to do with 'Bama football.
The others say that they "bleed orange and blue" because of Auburn.
In the end? It's the football.
Not the kind with the round ball that's played in other parts of the world but the other kind. The kind that giants play. The ground? It shakes when they run. Fierce. Each year we wait to see. The rankings, the polls, and now the BCS. Looking into the crystal ball and willing to find a National Championship there.
It's pride. It's our state.

Rematch in the Sugar Bowl?
Bama fans say, "Roll, Tide, Roll"
Voodoo Kings and Voodoo Queens.
This games like you never seen.
LSU and Tide will Roooooollll.
See you in the Sugar Bowl?
They're saying here that, even if Georgia beats LSU, it's still LSU v Bama.
Somehow? I'm thinkin' that there'll be alot of folks watching that LSU/Georgia game. LOL

LOL. Really, I don't care but the idea of it as a rebound? Or maybe a "I'm free and I can? What are you gonna' say. They're both consenting adults.
But honest? In the photo of them both (the one with Smart in the sailor hat)? He looks just like a buff Mark Anthony. I'm wondering if it's all just PR and Smart is along for the ride? Maybe Jen with the kids at Christmas, a glam New Years, and then? A Valentine's break up?
Have fun and watch your "hearts". It's not my thing but hey it's not my life.

Dear Santa,
I've been very good in my budgeting class.
This is what I've learned.
Ask for much more than you need and you might get what you need.
So I'm asking for:
A trip around the world for me and two very nice people.
An IPad 2.
A new barn to replace the one I don't have.
A horse. A great big draft horse to go into the new barn.
The materials to build the chicken house.
A cross fence.
A trip to California so that I can see the Santa Monica Pier, the Late Late Show taping, red wood trees, San Francisco, and the Pacific Ocean. For three very nice people. The good news is that the tickets to the Late Late Show with tv's Craig Fergson are FREE. (Fine print: The bad news is that the airline tickets are not. Would accept bus tickets but hotel rooms? Ah no. )
Okay, an epi or foil. Think fencing.
A wi fi thingy to go with the IPad 2. Otherwise the cell phone service here is crap.
A truck to go along with the barn and the horse. (So I can haul hay for the horse. Those draft horses are HUGE so they may eat alot. Need the truck.)
LOL A sense of humor for WB who will take this list way to seriously and start saying things like , "...budget...". WB NEVER has a sense of humor when it comes to money.
A new storage shed because I'm thinking that the pole barn is a stretch. If I do it right a storage shed would work too. BUT it must have a stall for the horse and a place to put the dogs/chickens when it's cold.
LOL, WB if you're reading this take a deep breath. You know how this makes you flustered. WB has no clue how to window shop. "Get in, buy it if it's in the budget, and get out." That is WB's motto.
(for Christmas I'm thinking that we're all getting a shiny red apple from WB. I'm getting him a nice dress shirt from LandsEnd but don't tell him that because he'll say, "No, not in the budget.")
And Santa one more thing. I'd really like "Peace on Earth. Good will to all." and bringing back the folks who are in the armed services healthy would be good too.
Serious note. Every year I ask for Peace on Earth. Every year. You'd think that for just 24 hours we all hear on Earth could be quiet and get along for one day. Just one day. So far, nope but I keep asking anyway.
Bottom line, Santa?
I'd be happy with a new jib sail or maybe a bottom job for the boat.
Even better? I'd love to have the boat here.
And that Peace on Earth thing. That would be good too.
Who loves ya' Santa?
Hugs and kisses from one of the good girls and boys,

Saw movie Hugo(3D) then out to eat and to the grocery store. Cried like a baby (at the movie not at the drive through or the grocery).
I thought that the movie would be over the top sappy but there's this moment at the end --- lol, it had me in tears and then it had me.
Something about everyone needing a place to be...
Then there's the scene with Hugo and friend at the library when they're reading about the early history of film. I have that same experience when reading some blogs.
The youtubes are like magic windows into another world. As a matter of fact, if Santa would bring me that IPad 2, it really would be a magic experience where I could just touch the screen and ---
LOL. Real magic would be Santa bringing that IPad2.
Not holding my breath.
Dang this year has just flown by.

Then there's the scene with Hugo and friend at the library when they're reading about the early history of film. I have that same experience when reading some blogs.
The youtubes are like magic windows into another world. As a matter of fact, if Santa would bring me that IPad 2, it really would be a magic experience where I could just touch the screen and ---
LOL. Real magic would be Santa bringing that IPad2.
Not holding my breath.
Dang this year has just flown by.

Already done list.
Stuff self with turkey/dressing.
Supper of pumpkin AND pecan pie with glass of skim milk.
Fuss with relatives.
Go to gym and talk about up coming Iron Bowl.
Discuss likely chancces of an Auburn upset or that Alabama will be in play off for National Champion ship.
Figure odds. Go to sales. Buy self Christmas prezzie.
Go out to eat only to find out that there are three televisions with restaurant showing the LSU v. Arkansas game.
Talk to more about the chances of an LSU/Arkansas upset.
No up set.
Go home and talk about rankings. Here lecture on how the only way Alabama will end up in the play offs now is if Georgia beats LSU and how that's not going to happen.
Put up some kind of Christmas decorations.
Discuss more about Iron Bowl and college football championship.
Go with Pup to fun activity.
Come home and watch part of Iron Bowl.
Eat entire bag of potato chips and dip in nervous energy frenzy.
Stop the madness by telling self it's just a game.
Stop watching game and go outside to visit.
Then get in car and go on grocery store errand (actually it's just an excuse to get out of the house.)
Stop to get BBQ and lemonaid at BBQ place. They have the Iron Bowl on the television. Next table over father is wearing Georgia tshirt. Son is wearing Alabama cap. Crazy.
Watch more of the Iron Bowl.
Go home while listening to Iron Bowl on the radio. Commentators are doing a post mortem of the game and the game isn't even over.
I'm pretty sure that Auburn is toast for this year.
Now will hear MORE talk about the National Championship game.
Sound of post game show coming from other part of the house.
I'd say "...hurry Christmas..." but that just means bowl games and more talk about the bowl games and national rankings and how Auburn sucks or doesn't suck without Cam Newton.
Sigh, hurry Christmas.
