Applaud me.......
Don't we all seek recognition, don't we all want to be seen and heard. I was a shy kid, but still I wanted to be on stage, singing and dancing. I grew up watching all the musicals. In the day, I'd go roaming the countryside, singing all my favourite songs at the top of my voice, when I knew they was no one else around. No human anyway. I knew all the songs from "My Fair Lady", "Singing In The Rain", "Calamity Jane", "Mary Poppins" to name a few. Those were the songs I would sing to the trees, to the cows, to the nature spirits. They were my best audience, the ones I felt most comfortable with and I believed that they applauded me in their own way.
It's funny how nearly all of us, wish for a little bit of fame at one stage of our lives. Imagining what it would be like to be on a stage, where everyone came to hear/watch you, to hear them all applaud you. As though it is fame that gives you worth. What a world we live in, where we connect self worth to fame, at such a young age, aspiring to be like those we see on the T.V, in the cinemas. When in actually fact, there are some different rights of passage, that deserve other people's applause.
As I grew up and explored more of the world, I realised, how much of our attention, is being pulled towards more external forces. When we really should be focusing on our own lives and the lives of those around us. Celebrating our own personal achievements and life's milestones. One of my major life achievements, was birthing my daughters. When I actually got to experience my own strength, the strength of my body and my will power. damn I felt so powerful. And yet, it is not something that is celebrated. Yes the baby is, but the mama, where;s the applause for us mama's.
I've really been enjoying getting back into free writing, just letting the words flow out of me, with no real thought for what I will write beforehand. Just seeing what comes out. There is a great freedom in that and freedom is so important to me, in it's many forms. Freedom to think and share and express myself. The freedom to just let my thoughts flow and share whatever it is that needs to come out. Because usually it's a surprise. I started this freewrite, thinking about my childhood and my love for musicals, for singing and ended up writing about birth. Which I guess is a wonderful example of where our thoughts can roam, when we give them the freedom to do so.
I love that about freewriting, which I haven't been able to do of late. But I get to read yours, so it's all good.
I sing to the forest creatures, to the streams, to the birds, whenever I know I can't be easily heard by humans. I sound so good out there! Love songs mostly. What else is there to sing to the trees?
Yes love songs and songs of gratitude xxxx
Personally, my secret scene reenactment is to dance in a moutain framed valley meadow and sing Roger's and Hammerstein's hit, The Sound of Music.
Perhaps in the Death metals style.

Yes, " The hills are alive" xxxx
Did you sing the Sound of Music songs, too? From your list, that seems like one that should be there too. You know, it's a funny thing for me, I both equally desire the spotlight of attention, and to hide from everyone, and in the last few years the latter has been winning...lol! Thankfully I don't care one wit about fame. I just want what's real, not fake nonsense, which is what most people see. I appreciate you, my friend. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Yes of course the 'Sound Of Music', it should definitely be up there.
Yeah I too have no interest in fame, I like living away from it all xxx
I had a feeling! I know that for sure, and I appreciate that about you. It's mostly insane nonsense to me anyway, so my desire to interface with it is basically zero. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
