heartwarming feminist synchronicity

There are times in my life when i feel like i’m flowing with life, in tune, aware. Moments of synchronicity appear everywhere. Two situations emerged in the last 24 hours that just hit me.

First, i was wandering through Amoeba Records buying downtempo. I decided i needed to get out of the downtempo section because i am not allowed to purchase more CDs than i can carry. Wandering around, waiting for my friends, i asked the information person if early releases of Ani’s new album. No luck. No worries.

Tonight, i arrived home to a package from Scot Fisher (the head of Righteous Babe). Inside was a copy of the album and a handwritten note suggesting that i might appreciate this. I was totally taken aback with deep appreciation and love. I’ve been hosting the lyrics site for so many years kind of tangentially to RBR. To be acknowledged just felt so heartwarming.

….

Last night, i was addressing all of these pent up emotions and Eve kept coming into my head. She used to tell me that crying was a wonderful release and it’s good for me. I miss her dreadfully and realized it had been a long time since we talked. But i channelled her and let out my tension, as hard as that is for me. Tears of joy, tears of release. And into the world, i sent my love towards Eve.

This morning, she called me. It had been months. She told me that she did all of these interviews with trans women and had written an amazing piece for the V-Day Los Angeles all-trans cast production. I cried. I honored her. I shared my love, my appreciation.

If you haven’t ever seen “The Vagina Monologues” you must. Go to a V-Day near you. It’s V-Season.

And if you’re in Sundance on Saturday, go see the new V-Day film: Until the Violence Stops.

As i sit here in awe of the synchronicity, i am so very thankful for all of the opportunities and situations that continue to emerge in my life. So very thankful.
