Learning A New Dance

This Autumn I am reallying feeling the crisp air, the warm sunshine and the freedom of being unattached to anyone romantically. Perhaps that sounds lonely, but it is the first time in decades that I am crush-free. This is like starting a new dance, no worries about what, when, why, or how someone is or is not going to get in touch with me. I was always waiting, hoping and being reactive, which resulted in disappointment.

For now, I am practicing the release of anticipation and enjoying the final weeks of the Year of Being Present.

Cinema Paradiso

Listening to the beautiful theme from one of my favorite films Cinema Paradiso directed by Giuseppe Tornatore with a soundtrack written by Ennio Morricone. Hits me in the heart. Haven't watched the film in over ten years. Need to see it again.

I remember being in France with my post-college boyfriend John and watching the European extended version of the film. Such a romantic film and uplifting soundtrack.
