Erotica
You are EROTICA…… you little sex vixen. You’re
up for anything in the bedroom. You have an
adventurous personality, and love to be
stimulated. You are sexy and fierce and like
to be in control. You are very open minded,
but don’t make sex the only part of your
personality, or else you may have a lull in you
career like Maddy did.

the songbird

i am an orthodox christian, and this week is holy week. while the west has already celebrated easter, the christian east’s is this upcoming sunday. i have been, since the previous saturday, singing at the chanter’s stand at my parish here in san francisco. each of the services, up until last night, have lasted between 90 - 120 minutes, but last night’s great and holy thursday service of the crucifiction gospels lasted two-and-a-half hours. my voice’s endurance has been taken to its limit and beyond, but i feel high and deeply moved by the language of the service. it’s as if i’ve been transported to the gates of heaven itself and been allowed a glimpse inside.

orthodox spirituality is deeply mystical, meditative, and poetic. its music is very slow, has a hypnotic droning quality. the services are an experience of the entire body and its senses. all five physical senses are used in orthodox worship. it is a very holistic practice, a very “east meets west” form of spirituality.

i pray that my voice holds out for these next four services.
