SLAM WHAM: Rock Stars and Cages.

WHAM!! Slam GLAM!
wow, these past three-ish weeks have HIT ME HARD. Leading up to the Tibetan New Year (also called the Duns Season) this time of year has been all about ripening karma and "shit-hitting-the-fan-and-falling-apart-on-the-floor" sorta stuff. This year's season also happened to end on an eclipse...the planets have been going nuts!
I have been away from the community working on a piece...I am trying to fit it into a show thematically about cages...and the piece in question has been about the mental cage so many young people create regarding body image and eating issues. Damn, shifting through some of that stuff was ROUGH! (I even posted once about it on here, blessings to all who sent support and shared some of their own struggles with disordered eating and body image. We are all destined to be ROCK STARS)
After the piece finally got done, my body HIT a wall...I got sick sick sick as a DAWG and I am still struggling with it. I suppose it isn't surprising, what with all the emotional stuff that comes up doing this type of creative work. The scary news: my house mates just got landed with cases of MONO! (dunh duh duh!) and I don't think I was ever exposed as a young adult. What if this is a big bad ol case of that?? I went shopping today, loaded up on some vitamins, and citrus fruits. (whenever I've been sick in bed for days, I just crave things like oranges and grapefruits...anyone else? maybe it's just me, remembering the good ol' glass of OJ mom used to pour at times like this.) Will report soon...let's keep our fingers crossed for my speedy recovery.
best to all, caitlin.
