International-Returnee feeling lost? Find your Inner Core and rediscover It. Your native land is a helluva place to be without it.Last night, I got home late. Boxes all over the place - waiting to be packed. Walked upstairs, plopped down in front of computer. For no reason, went to YouTube to listen to the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing." Stood up, started grooving/dancing. Neck pain went away, back pain went away. Lumbosacral Strain...whatever.
From Memphis to Miami to Gainesville to Houston to Tokyo and points beyond...and Back To The Birthplace, I've lost, let go of, freaked out, and, and....
I aint giving up my groove for no body, no relative, no man, no culture, no menopause, no circumstances, no religion, no group pressure, no righteous indignation, no control freaks, power trippers, grief dispensaries, new age analysts, pagan healers (who I love dearly,) hormone depletion, cancer risks, disease, betrayal, liars, baggage of others, loneliness, anxiety, depression, wrinkles, heartbreak, extreme mental overload, scary California highways, a flat tire, beer, wine, cigarettes, aging - and even martinis.
Can I feel compassion for all of the above? YES and then some...
Groove goes where I go.
