Honestly, having a little difficulty swinging back into action –– although I do realize that I completed a script, had a reading with ten actors, and did a day trip to Vancouver for a fine cut screening of a film to give the director notes … all last week.
But today, I’ve resisted all but the minimum efforts on forging ahead. [Again, I’m being a little critical in that I had a terrific client call with a terrific client, a wonderful mastermind dinner, and I did write a few potent bizness emails….but still…]
I thought it quite wise, however, to take Belle for a beach walk which was good for both of us.
Mostly, I listened to three David Neagle recordings that were extras for the Miracle of Money course that I hadn’t fully heard, entitled The Need to Be Special, The Need to Be Responsible, and the Need to Be Liked.
There was one particularly great part where he suggested we turn around 360 degrees (unless driving) and view our world, with lots of stuff about us as the center and creator of it. This was particularly effective given that my circular view included the Golden Gate Bridge.
Beyond this, one thing I feel I’ve mentioned maybe once this fall but has now become so part of my psyche that it bears repeating:
I can envision no more perfect music for Belle’s joy at jumping through the waves than the final movement of Beethoven’s #5th Concerto (the “Emperor”), and although I am partial to the Brendel recording that I listen to every time we solo walk, I have near infinite love for all things Glenn Gould and so … here he is genius-ing away, unable to stop expressing himself even after he’s finished playing.
[I defy you not to imagine Belle’s euphoria throughout.]
