5:12pm, Behind Margaret Brent Elementary, Hargrove St and E 26th St, Baltimore, MD

I picked this site on purpose. Today is a body rest day after 16, almost consecutive days of yoga and daily dances and biking. I did a warm up with music. As I began my daily dance, it struck me quite clearly that my internal sense of timing shifts greatly when I don't have music playing. Sort of obvious but I finally felt it and understood it differently. How does one develop that timing without musical input? Is dance more or less profound, interesting, or engaging with music? Then there is my perception of my timing and how it actually looks, external to my embodied space. It's been warm the last few days... just a taste of summer. Day one hundred forty-eight.
