Energy
I was looking through the archives of my music library and came across the song " Energy " by the Apples in Stereo, which I used to use as a warm-up for class. I think about (and feel) energy all the time. All.the.time. It's been this way since I was a child. I guess I'm one of those fine-tuned Pisces who has a permanent antenna. This creates the need for me to crawl into a cave every so often, to turn down the volume of the world. It's been a journey for me to try to understand and work with it. I used to hate it, often wishing that I wasn't so sensitive. Then, a mentor and friend offered me another perspective and I began to look at it as a gift, as a way to work positively in the world instead of viewing it as a weakness or burden. I basically live a yin/yang kind of life. In the past, when people asked me what I "do," I used to struggle with the answer, primarily because I didn't even know how to reconcile it within myself....
