hello, it’s me.

read while listening to:

hello (it’s me) x erykah badu…or the isley brothers…or todd rundgren (who knew he was the originator? - not me)

hello, it’s me.

scorpio sun, capricorn moon, pisces rising, sagittarius venus.

beacon of light, vessel of love, ocean of emotion, and all that jazz.

jazz. toni morrison says of jazz:

 ”[...] one of the attractions of the term is its loose association of energy and sensuality. And freedom. And release. And intricacy. [...] It’s really a concept. And it’s interesting to me as a writer because it’s so full of contradictions. It’s black and free. It’s intricate and wild. It’s spontaneous and practiced. It’s exaggerated and simple. It’s constantly invented, brand-new, but somehow familiar and known. Wherever you go in the world, if you say ‘Jazz’, people say ‘Oh yes, yes. I remember.’ [...] It’s immediately understood and all explanations become redundant.”

-The Source of Self Regard

in many ways, this is how i see myself. and my practice. which is interesting, because if jazz needs no explanation, why do i feel the need to explain?
