Last night, after a very productive day (I did Urdhva Dhanurasana by myself for the first time!), I came home and collaged. It's the first full moon of the year so I lit some candles, said a little prayer and made a collage of all of the things I want more of or to manifest in my life in 2007. It was fun. It's not especially artful or profound, but the just the act of selecting and organizing and using a glue stick was inspiring.
Maybe it's just my mood and I'm ready to be inspired, but I got to thinking while listening to a youtube posting of a folk singer on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ginger_root's journal. Sometimes I wish I was a guitar-wielding singer-songwriter. There seems to be so much freedom in this genre. It continues to be inspiring and fertile despite its simplicity and overuse. Mostly I wish I could be Ella Fitzgerald or an R&B diva, but occasionally I wish I had the easy going nature and careless vocal stylings of a folk singer. But his will not happen for several reasons: I don't want to learn the guitar, my voice wants to sing opera and I don't write music. This is also why I will never be a piano playing singer-songwriter. Although I love the piano, own one, and can barely play. I only ever write music when I have to (like for theory classes and such, but I don't take those anymore).
I miss making music. I think maybe I want to make chanteuse disco-folk, or elegant happy roots techno, when not singing Mozart. Look at all the creativity stirred up! Perhaps this will manifest in 2007.
