Reaching For The Moon…………. (Photo: Courtesy of Nick D’amato)
“…..Gonna live my dreams, and chase rainbows, cause there might be a pot of gold. Just pay no mind to what the people say. Gonna live my life day after day.”
….from the song “Day After Day“, written by Danny Britt.
In my previous post, “Your Presence Is Required”, I mentioned the importance of being present, taking notice of things that interest you, and then pursuing them.
So, pursuant to following my own advice, I planned a four-day weekend trip to Arizona and Texas.
I wanted to travel. I wanted to see and hear Lizz Wright sing again, in Phoenix, Tucson, and Austin. I wanted to take some pictures. To listen to music. To experience places that I had or hadn’t been to previously. To tour the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. To get a full-on, warm embrace from the sun (Seattle has been rainy and gray for three months now) while I played basketball outside in Tucson, Phoenix, or Austin, or all three. To do a couple music videos for an ongoing project of mine. To test drive a convertible Chevy Camaro. To watch the sunset from a mountain top. To stay in a luxury hotel at least one of those nights. To reach for the moon.
That’s not asking too much for one weekend, is it? 🙂
