Day 23: 23rd May
The past 24 hours have had a somewhat serendipitous feeling to them. 3 am eyes fully fused together, literally stumbling around trying to find wetsuit and camera gear. A message from my friend Nick he sent me a tune that he thought might work along with a beautiful message. Half-naked dazed with my tea and found my self crying and laughing at the same time while listing to the tune. Have I officially lost my marbles or have I found ma marbles whatever it is – or was – it felt ace.
I’ve just been so loving your Dawn Days films man, they’re kind of saving my life at times!! So thanks for that!
It just struck me one of our mammal tunes might feed well into the beautiful shit you're doing. We recorded it in my pal's cottage, which is at the end of Coldingham Beach.
Here's us recording the sea for it...
If you wanna use it please do it'd really make our music feel valuable! If not, totally fine obvz, I still love you and your work! 🙂
Wind howling nicks tune in my head I turn the corner onto the Esplanade, The lights hitting the water. I realised it’s meant to be. My little friend popped up. The same seal I keep seeing.
I can’t help this feeling that she or he is me or a version of me maybe it’s my little childish self maybe it’s a reflection of me or it’s one of the selkies folk.
I messaged Stu @beingconscious1 .
Your friends message resonated with your heart, something that happens on a regular basis, but for most guys, we have a tendency to shut it down, culturally we’ve been programmed to do this as men, the more we learn to be in our bodies, the more these things become apparent.
The heart, brain and gut our organs of perception, they feel ❤️, and when the heart vibrates, it can make us cry, tears of joy, what a beautiful way of feeling the joy of life and the proof that we all connected. Seeing someone cry in pain, I feel makes us almost repulse, because we know that feeling and we are actually feeling the other, we have the capacity to shut it down, cause feeling the other in pain, is painful, until we can learn to let the other express that pain and we can just be with them and breathe into and through that difficult emotion. Breathe that joy, Mike.
