I was in the car, the radio was on. One of many, clear, powerful images of the mind. Were you with me Joseph Prince? In the vision I saw myself packing this suitcase. It was sunny outside. There was snow. I saw this particular room. This vision was not abstract but specific, clear. I looked at the suitcase. There was lettering on the suitcase. Aware of the flow of traffic, out of the vision and in the real ,I remember the song playing on the radio. It was “Sussudio”. A very cozy song to listen to in Sunny Florida. I love the cozy FM station. That was some years ago. Now in the present moment. It is March 26, 2013. I’m currently at Starbucks enjoying an ice water and coffee. I’m looking around for the front man of the band P.O.D….. Only hope can keep me together…. Some lyrics from Message in a bottle by Sting. Allow me pass this bottle to you Sonny. Wait there is no bottle. Just a cup of Joe here at Starbucks. A spoon was not necessary; I used a little wooden stick. Does it really matter? Lana Wachowski? What sparked this writing? Let me back track to a few hours ago. I turned on the radio. I turned the station a few times. Sussudio was playing. I started folding my jeans. I needed to ignore the humiliation and physical pain and concentrate on folding all these clothes. I couldn’t help myself; I stopped folding a shirt and began to dance around to the song. Normally, ok eccentrically, in a great multitude of songs, there is something that makes it easier to pin point different hidden “Treats” than having to eliminate the interference caused by time ( I have a little diddy about Cyndi Lauper’s Time after Time, by the way). A sign? I started to remember the vision I had driving in the car in Florida while dancing around the room here in Colorado. Wait a sec. I remember. I went into this storage room across from my room. I picked up a suitcase. Yes, the same lettering I saw in the vision was written on the suitcase. The word, “STUDIO”. I said out loud, “Come on Phil you have to give me more!” Then he began to repeat in the song, “I’ll just say the word, ooooooh, sussudio.” What does this have to do with building a bridge with another one of his hit songs, “In The Air Tonight”? I had another dream come to pass and manifest into the real yesterday. I was in stretch position. My pain. I needed to forget that. These visions from youth. They are coming to pass. How do I explain this? Yes, the word “pack”. The word “lies”. You see, if you listen to the whole song, his subtleties, his tone…… A simultaneous recollection, a retrospect of thoughts and images coming together from these two songs. Let me unpack. When He said “pack” I saw the lettering in my minds eye on the suitcase then that I saw now, “ STUDIO”. A bridge to his song “In The Air Tonight” Remembering one of the days I handed out my resumes around Hollywood. I love the quote Mel Gibson says to the queen in his movie Braveheart. “I never lie. But I am a savage."
