I found my music and did indeed sing and play Up on the Roof for my boyfriend. I thought about all of you and this thread.
I also finally found my lost book of original music and played several for him. This book represents my song writing from age 15 to 55. What luck to find my music!
Oh my oh my oh my. Your views, your memories, your thoughts. You sent, I received and my own memories flooded in!
This then is now part of the magic of the wondrous "Revolving Roof Top Lounge"
We revolve-our views, our memories past /present/future. We keep on "spinning" --"What goes up must come down. Spinning wheel goes round and round."
Kali Yuga, the wheel of the Zodiac, the wheels of the convertibles and DeLorean and Time Space Creation and Magic/Magick.
The Golden Spiral, the Golden Mean, Sacred Symbols of all kinds flooding in now. I climb into the geometic complexities and am transported up up and away in my beautiful

@michele-b Thank you, thank you, thank you for your joy and effervescence❣️ I hear Melanie’s passionate “Lay Down” as we raise our candles and glasses high. Cheers to all light workers and all of the helpers who strive and laugh and pray and comfort and share bc vulnerability is a strength and a step toward awakening. ???
“So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh, raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain”
@unk-p. I think your dad's going to end up with a mullet. I'm going back up on the roof tonight. Count shooting stars. I will give thanks that @Lovendures and her husband tested negative. Oh, I see that when I do that, there's a face in the sky that gives me a wink and a smile.
@michele-b and @unk-p, did you mention haircuts? Back in the early 70's, my long-haired friend, Chuck, pleaded with me to give him a good trim.
"But I've never cut hair before," I protested.
"Geez, don't make such a big deal out of it. There's nothing to it -- just cut straight across and take off a couple of inches," Chuck replied.
The scissors slipped and one of the blades went up his nose.
And yes ... the friendship survived.
Well I just love this thread, thank you Unky (Hey don't run with those scissors ...)
November is a bittersweet time, the bridge 'tween ... I like to sip a little warmed cognac in front of the fireplace and I do loves me some 19th century poets!.
At the risk of sounding like a kosmic 'Mastahpiece Theatah' episode ... here is a poem from ca. 1816... (Just the first and last parts)
Percy Bysshe Shelley ~
' Hymn to Intellectual Beauty '
" The awful shadow of some unseen power
Floats though unseen among us visiting
This various world with as inconstant wing
As summer winds that creep from flower to flower
Like moonbeams that behind some piney mountain shower
It visits with unconstant glance each human heart and countenance
Like hues and harmonies of evening
Like clouds in starlight widely spread
Like memory of music fled
Like aught that for it's grace may be
Dear, and yet dearer for it's mystery
~ ~ ~
The day becomes more solemn and serene
When noon is past, there is a harmony
In Autumn, and a lustre in the sky
Which through summer is not heard or seen
As if it could not be, as if it had not been
Thus let the power which like the truth of nature
On my passive youth descended, to my onward life supply
It's calm, to one who worships thee, and every form containing thee
Whom, SPIRIT fair, thy spells did bind
To fear himself, and love all
Human kind "
@unk-p For about five months of our quarantine, I cut my husband’s hair with dog clippers. I mean, clippers are clippers, amirite? Like our dogs, my husband is easy going and a very good sport. However, when the barbershop opened last July, my husband was outta here and I haven’t cut it since. With this scary winter approaching, we may have to be more self-reliant again.
@unk-p. I think your dad's going to end up with a mullet.
ha!
Actually, i gave him the more radicalized version of a Mullet:
The Skullet! -that is where the top and the sides are completely shaved, and the back is total anarchy. It makes him look like a Hare Krishna devotee. A very handsome one, at that. He loves it, and he didn't ask for his $1 back!

and hey, @michele-b -Aquarius just happens to be one of my all-time favorite songs, from one of my all-time favorite movies. Here is a version from Wigstock (circa 1995)- also an excellent movie:
"Geez, don't make such a big deal out of it. There's nothing to it -- just cut straight across and take off a couple of inches," Chuck replied.

I should not laugh at your dear man so I am just snorting, choking on my own secretions and huff Puff huff ouff my shoulders up and down as I try to hold it all in.
And of course I spilled my cuppa all over my ? basket I arrived in this morning for 3 a.m. awakening and wait for dawn and startvof a new day with no regrets for yesterday.
? Yesterday! ?
and I didn't even give you the punchline: Chuck still wanted me to finish cutting his hair, nicked nose and all! So I did.
This was the guy who would lecture me about buying nutritionally-deficient white bread, and then stop by at midnight to invite me on a Dunkin Donuts' run.
Enough said.
