....CAN I COME UP FOR AIR?.....

"GILLS AND TAILS" by Amel Larrieux.....

wow...the lyrics from that song.....exemplify where I am right now.....
"Can I come up for air....Can I come up....Can I come up....."

Things appear to be taking off and moving alot faster than I sometimes feel I can go these days. What this means for me is jus rising to the challenge and setting boundaries, prioritizing, and most importantly, takin time to laugh, live, and breathe. Between everyday life, work, lining up more work for the next couple of months, beginning the process of filing for non profit status for BSC, lining up auditions, going to arts workshops, fundraisers, and making plans for BSC activities, I am alot busier than I initially realized. None of this is beyond the scope of my capabilities, but when I think about all of it together, my first natural impulse is to be overwhelmed, but even that is beginning to shift, as I have learned---scratch that...I've MADE a choice to be reminded that I CAN DO IT, rather than being overwhelmed first.
This aint to say that I always make that choice first, but with each day that passes, I'm makin that choice alot more often. Dunno what to do next, since there's SO MUCH TO DO, but I jus remind myself to take shit one day, one thing, one breath (inhale.....then EXHALE) at a time....

::sings as Amel does in "GILLS & TAILS"::
"....this here world Im in.......
....sucks your life out...leaves you comatose....
.....take back your salt and fins.....send me a lifeboat....
....CAN I COME UP FOR AIR......Can I come Up....Can I Come Up....."
