Is It All Over My Face, You've Got Me Love Dancing


2am and I am supposed to be up in five hours to chef at the raw food cafe in Highgate and there seems to be no chance of my sleeping in the near minutes to follow - I am high once again on cacao and mesquite, my drug of choice, yet not by choice - I had to sample the raw mint chocolate brownies and love-heart chocolates that I have made for tomorrow. Thanks to cacao, my creative juices are flowing, (also made a raw elderflower cordial for my raw pear and elderflower crumble, and a luscious vanilla cream to go with it, mmmmmm!) I will try to get photos of these posted soon.

Cacao gets me dancing, had a disco session tonight to Larry Levan's "Its all over my face" classic, and in the midst of ecstatic dancing I only just figured the enititled 'all over my face' riff, is a reference to the white powder that fuelled the disco era. Aha! Let cacao be the new drug of love dancing!

Punta Mona finally got back to me to let me know that I am welcome to come and stay in their beautiful sustainable community - am off to Costa Rica very soon, hurray!!

Had a fine weekend shared with Holi, even more stunning in real life. I am bowled by the wonderful ribbon that she laces through life, and feel totally inspired to travel now. I am learning to let go of doubts, fears and just run with life, and dancing to music is my yoga right now. Holi and I shared a little adventure in Heathrow airport this weekend that totally confirmed my current movement, all about dipping toes in, taking leaps foward, then sometimes a pause, trying, sometimes finding the groove, sometimes just searching for it. There are no mistakeS, and I think less and less that there is a right and wrong in life, just a constant search for alignment. I feel like a kid right now, banging on the keys of a new-bought piano, thrashing chords, some that clash and some that rhyme but all necessary in the quest for a melody that allows me to sink into the deep spirtual and emotional power of life and love.
