…my daily DC bike commute and the fabulous-ness of disk brakes, my students at the The Corcoran and George Washington University (they are each a miraculous universe), my continued work on the new mythical musical meditation for the planet called Waking The Oracle (www.wakingtheoracle.com), lots of quite time, studying ASL, enjoying my morning cup of coffee , stillness & silence, my early morning workouts at Petworth Fitness(such a great gym), the finches and cardinals who visit me regularly, encountering true honesty and courage in myself and others, big belly laughs, having time with no plans whatsoever, unapologetic powerful women and girls, white people who seriously take on racism and privilege, camping in the wilderness, dips in freezing cold water, studying for my pilot’s license,….oh… and chocolate (of course).
