Consolation of Rhythm

Here is a great idea: Instead of blaming your partner for what he isn't giving you [and we all tend to feel most neglected at those times when we ourselves are called upon to give unstintingly - e.g. tending a baby] what about learning skills to build yourself up, using a very simple strategy. The comfort of rhythm enhanced by bodily movement. This book offers [both mother and child] beautiful poetry combined with the simple movement of rocking. Perhaps its because we lost these basic pleasures after 40,000 years of evolution [we have no time] that black Africans invented Soul, Blues and Jazz out of their misery of displacement, and why our adolescent kids rock all night on dance floors.
