Bodhisattva Brucie

This morning I dreamed I was under a big tent with hundreds of other people--we were sitting at tables, performing some activity.

All of a sudden Bruce Springsteen's song "Radio Nowhere" came over the intercom, playing full blast.  

If you know the song, you know it's impossible not to get up and dance, which is exactly what I did!  I moved into the isle and danced and sang along.

Soon, others were jumping up and joining me, until most of us were up and bopping.  And when the refrain came, we sang at the top of our lungs, "I just want to feel some rhythm!", jumping up and down, pumping our fists.  It felt joyous, liberating.

I woke up in mid song, laughing...!

So, today I am considering how the Triple Gem, the Buddha, the Dharma, the Sangha, can certainly manifest in such unique and glorious ways.   And also how creative the unconscious mind can be at making connections!

Radio Nowhere

I was tryin' to find my way home

But all I heard was a drone

Bouncing off a satellite

Crushin' the last lone American night

This is Radio Nowhere, is there anybody alive out there?

This is Radio Nowhere, is there anybody alive out there?

I was spinnin' 'round a dead dial

Just another lost number in a file

Dancin' down a dark hole

Just searchin' for a world with some soul

This is Radio Nowhere, is there anybody alive out there?

This is Radio Nowhere, is there anybody alive out there?

I just want to hear some rhythm

I just want to hear some rhythm

I just want to hear some rhythm

I just want to hear some rhythm

I want a thousand guitars

I want pounding drums

I want a million different voices speaking in tongues

This is Radio Nowhere, is there anybody alive out there?

This is Radio Nowhere, is there anybody alive out there?

Is there anybody alive out there?

I was driving through the misty rain

Yeah searchin' for a mystery train

Boppin' through the wild blue

Tryin' to make a connection to you

This is Radio Nowhere, is there anybody alive out there?

This is Radio Nowhere, is there anybody alive out there?

Is there anybody alive out there?

I just want to feel some rhythm

I just want to fee some rhythm

I just want to feel some rhythm

I just want to feel some rhythm

I just want to feel some rhythm

I just want to feel some rhythm

--Bruce Springsteen, from Magic
