Little Windows- an Unusual View

I won’t go to far into why I chose the windows to look through because I want to let them speak to you on their own.

The Hu is one of my favorite bands and that’s all I’ll say.

Anita

The Hu (stylized as The HU) is a Mongolian folk rock and heavy metal band formed in 2016. With traditional Mongolian instrumentation, including the Morin khuur, the Tovshuur, and Mongolian throat singing, the band calls their style of music “hunnu rock”, hu inspired by the Hunnu, an ancient Mongol/Turkic empire, known as Hünnü in Mongolia. Some of the band’s lyrics include old Mongolian war cries and poetry.

Usha Jey, is a 23-year-old Hip-hop dancer and choreographer. She is the creator of Hybrid Bharatham that is a mix of Hip-hop and Bharatanatyam

Men are Hula dancers too- and it’s just as beautiful as when women dance the Hula.

I Forgot One Little Thing

Woman in a Café by Umberto Boccioni

The Challenge today

was to imagine what my life would have been like

had my dream of who I wanted to be at age five

came true.

 

I would have been an astronaut or maybe and archeologist

or a singer / actress like Ann Margret.

I would be sailing ships, fighting monsters

by the time I was 57.

 

They were fun dreams, dreams that I write about

but what would have made the five year old in  me pause

was one little detail.

I never actually saw myself doing any of those things.

 

I saw the me that I wished to be.

A prettier me.

A that looked pretty when I laughed

and could run and jump without tripping and falling and skinning my knees.

 

Maybe that’s why I am where I am now.

I should have seen myself doing those things- clumsy, homely me.

I should have included myself

in those lovely, exciting dreams.
