Somersaulting Home

somersault:
1. A movement (as in gymnastics) in which a person turns forward or backward in a complete revolution along the ground or in the air bringing the feet over the head; also : a falling or tumbling head over heels
2. A complete reversal, as of sympathies or opinions.

This speaks for me. I'll explain this more over the weekend. In the meantime one of my favorite bands Zero 7 singing Somersault:


You're the prince to my ballerina
You feed other people's parking meters
You encourage the eating of ice cream
You would somersault in the sand with me

You talk to loners, you ask how's your week
You give love to all and give love to me
You're obsessed with hiding the sticks and stones
When I fear the unknown
You feel like home, you feel like home

You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me around
You were sweet and you were sound
You saved me

You're the warmth in my summer's breeze
You're the ivory to my ebony keys
You would share your last jelly bean
You would somersault in the sand with me

You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me around
You were sweet and you were sound
You saved me

You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me around
You were sweet and you were sound
See I had shrunk yet still you brought me around
And 'round and 'round

Oddly enough I had a dream last night that I was curled up in fetal position tumbling backwards in space.

Trust you have landed with both feet on the ground. Thanks for the music.

Panda,

Your soft padded feet landing at my place is always a comfort. Thanks.

Keep somersaulting, Hope. If nothing else, the head rush feels good.
