The alarm’s bold robust sound hit my rested eardrums like a tsunami on a sandy southern beach on a calm restful morning. I shot up wondering where I was and where I needed to be. The answers didn’t come easily.
A quick run to the restroom and a splash of water on my face reminded me I had a nine o’clock date for coffee and doughnuts with Bill. A date I didn’t want to miss or be late for.
I love that man. I cherish every minute I get with him. I learn every time he opens his mouth. His wisdom is awe-inspiring. To watch him work is like tending to one of God’s miracles. It is miraculous.
While the temperatures were dipping into the single digits with the wind chill and snow flakes were swirling around with the gusts of wind that were strong enough to hold a door open and throw even a rounded girl like me off balance I knew there was only one place to be. That was at Nord’s Bakery filling my voluptuous self with hotness and sweetness that is unmatched by any other place. The coffee and doughnuts weren’t bad either.
At one moment while Bill was tending to someone else I wondered how I could find nine ladies dancing today. It was a holiday. The Louisville Ballet offices would be closed, Actor’s Theatre as well. The Kentucky Center for the Arts didn’t have a show scheduled. So I sat and thought and watched the snow fall thankful I was inside, safe and warm.
After two and a half-hours I had to head out needing to get to school. Even though the city was closed do to the New Year’s holiday I had class. I was thankful to be back in the studio with my professor Aaron. He inspires me to no end. I have grown by leaps and bounds under his direction. Thank goodness he has come along. The student was ready. Finally the teacher showed up.
After class I made my way home via a rather involved route. With warmth emanating throughout I put on one of my jazz CDs and went to town swirling myself around the house dancing from room to room.
I didn’t need nine ladies dancing today. I had me and nine rooms and a dance that expressed self, freedom, love, sensuality and the heartfelt goodness that I am living my life exactly as I should be, one day at a time free of chaos and filled with love and acceptance of self just as I am.
It occurred to me on my involved route home that life is full of detours that end up being better paths.
Sweet Dreams to you and all those who enter your path, cross it, see it, avoid it or don’t even know it’s there! Maggie ã
