i gotta swing in my pocket

swing, (swung, swang, swinging)- to sway backward and forward as a freely hanging object. to move with a sweeping motion; flourish. to play music in the style of swing. a relaxed motion, as in walking. rhythm, as of poetry or music.

last night, we watched a video called 'jazz on a summers day'. a docu/movie made in 1958 of the newport jazz festival which was on the same weekend as the americas cup (sailboat races.) what a work of art. i highly recommend it.

i write this as i look out at my swing hanging from the walnut tree.

when i get on that swing, it seems the world just kinda floats away for a little while.

feeling the motion in my stomach and the breeze on my face; breathing comes easier.

dancing is the same. even if it's just a piggle wiggle down the grocery aisle. some kinda smile emerges from within.

so this is a loving reminder daddy-o. when you're feeling  uptight,  just swing it.

and you can take that swing wherever you go.
