Been on a TV On The Radio kick since I discovered their Tiny Desk a few days ago.
Fun story:
When I was 18, I flew out to Chicago with my dad for the day to take a tour of Columbia. We rode the L on the way into the city from the airport (orange line from Midway), and I was listening to TOTR. A young man in a suit caught my eye because he was really into his music.
We take the tour and head straight back to the airport. No idea why we didnāt make a weekend of it. Again, Iām listening to TOTR. Again, I see the same young man. I knew this is where Iād be moving to. That was 2007, and Iām still here baby!!

This album will always remind me of a drive in the back of a minivan in Michigan with warm light spilling across the car interior. Recently heard this song in an episode of one of the Long Way seasons which is a rec in and of itself. Maintain the wonder and the love for singular moments in long journeys

āIsnāt it strange how the shade can burn / How you can go to school but you can never learn / Taking flights when the weather changes / Weāll both be birds in our separate cagesā
Peacefully bitersweet song that I found recently and have been listening to on repeat. I was already familiar with TV Girl, having listened to Death of a Party Girl in high school. Hadnāt heard of Jordana, but her voice is pretty.
Iām actually moving towards Summer as I write this, so I guess the lyrics have almost a pre-emptive nostalgia for me. I may be listening to this again in a few months with another layer of emotion, depending how things turn outā¦

Hit radio plays at work every day so Iām always hearing songs I havenāt heard in years and for some reason this one has made it onto the stations rotarion for the past week. Thereās something about this song that keeps me coming back on my own and while I do think Train is cheese there is such an honesty to this song that I cannot deny.
It made its way onto my giant playlist of the moment and Iām here listening in the dark and recommending it to all of you

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE š

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle.Ā These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once.Ā The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next.Ā We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom.
The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust.Ā The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back.Ā This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out.Ā The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy.Ā Iāve found that as healing goes on, just as itās shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being.Ā We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time.Ā Ā
The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow.Ā There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of āthis is what is, how can I make this work well for me?ā Everything works out for The Fool because they donāt know it canāt. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow.Ā I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more.Ā The Fool doesnāt stop to worry what other people will think!Ā The Fool does not fret about what ifās!Ā The Fool is in the moment!
