Sing to the sky

The power of music and dance.

Another day down, mark it off, done and dusted
Living my life the way it was meant to be
A smile here, some laughter there, music
Always music
Dance, sing, dance some more
Open my heart and my arms and feel the joy
Listen for the bass, feel the rhythm
Smile at the sky, at the stars,
At the world
Night, cool and fresh on my skin
And silence all around but for the music in my head
No-one is there, don't feel insecure
Eight paws watching my every move
Looking out for me, keeping me grounded
My guardian angels
I am a caryatid, a female Atlas holding up my world
Pegasus is my companion
Together we soar to music unheard by all except the chosen
Dance with me my friend, join my private nightclub
Feel the beat, feel the rhythm of my heart
Listen and you will hear my music
Another day down, another day older and wiser
Learning my own intimate secrets
Music unlocking the doors in my head and my heart
Night that once brought tears now brings smiles
Reclaim my night
Reclaim my life, minute by minute
Smile at the stars
Dance, sing, dance some more
Sing to the sky

I know who she was – and so does every other global newspaper and media I have read since December 2012. I will continue to use her name. Earlier in 2012 I had started the Whacksworks blog. On 1 December 2012 I went to the inauguration TEDxSouthBankWomen in Brisbane, but I didn’t write about what caused me to cry for a long time after this excellent TEDx event. I was supported very well, there. Jyoti was raped only two weeks after my breakdown. On 16 December 2012, in Munirka, South Delhi, India, Jyoti and her partner got onto a bus to go home from the movies, not knowing it was a private bus with 6 violent men on it. Those men beat Jyoti and her boyfriend, Awindra Pratap Pandey, with iron bars, viciously rap...

Pigs, Wolves and Hood

Have you read the Three Little Pigs in your childhood? How about Red Riding Hood ? You know, of course (don't you?) that they have been around for years . Roald Dahl and Jon  Scieszca knew the real  tales, and the're available on You Tube or published. Have a look at the You Tube videos  The True Story of the Three Little Pigs or   Revolting Rhymes - Three Little Pigs . Or look up the real books in Penguin Random House or in Angus & Robertson .  I wrote a ... sort of ... review of these books. Enjoy! Wolf vs the Pigs – and Red Riding Hood @ Louisa Reid When Jon wrote the tale of wolf vs pigs The teller told of himself Who was, as he said, A hero and kind (*cough cough*) You can meet him from your bookshelf! In this tale he said he would sneeze Which, we now know, let him down If you’ve ever sneezed Then maybe you would know That sneeze became his breakdown He couldn’t trap the pigs while he sneezed at them He trie...
