Yesterday morning I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off (as the saying goes). Running late as usual, I felt overwhelmed as I rushed out of the house to drop Baby 2.0 off at daycare. Then I sped to the lot to park my car and catch the school shuttle, all the while crossing my fingers hoping I wouldn’t be late (again) to my Lit class. I stepped onto the shuttle and sat down. My mind was racing and I was mentally determining the order of importance of the errands I would need to run during my one hour break between classes. Needless to say, I was worrying about how I would get everything done in that short time frame. After a few moments I realized the driver was playing a Lucky Dube album. I leaned back, glanced out the window and told myself, “Dara, take it easy and just enjoy the music.” I began to feel calm. I’m a worrywart, and sometimes I have to remind myself to just be easy.
The Lucky Dube video below is one that Baby and I love to watch.
Hi! I love Lucky Dube - as they say here - Ntate Lucky Dube - he is a well respected name in SA - I used to listen to him a lot in Tunis - where he has a big community of followers - interesting how well South African music is known at the top of the continent. It was great to read your post - things are so hectic here - it was just great to read your post, listen to the music and just “be easy” for a bit. (I posted the video on my blog as well)
yes, i read your post. and i appreciate your posting the lyrics.
good music can just take you to another place…i love that!
