Well this is a little bit off my usual enlightened (ahem) blogging but I got off on this story and was completely pulled into the drama. I guess I wasn't interested enough before to dig into this story when I started hearing about Eric Clapton's autobiography and how honest he was..and then at the same time Patti Boyd came out with hers. I had just finished getting dressed for real...like had my trucker's bath as they still don't have the part for the hot water heater in the rv...so boiling water as too cold for cold shower...and actually got out of the sweats and put on a skirt and makeup...hoping i was driving into town to get the water heater fixed...and would pretend it was more exciting than it was.. and then found out it still wasn't in. So today was the day I was hooking up all my video/editing equipment and getting on with all the little editing jobs I wanted to complete and then I hit on this story..don't even remember how.
My quantum physics teachings tell me we create what we think...and that there are zillions of possibilities and timelines open to us...we just have to make a decision and a plan and stick to it so we end up with the outcome we want and not get sidetracked into other players dramas. Also that we are working out a continuing story from our parents and ancestors.
So (briefly) here I am drawn in by the beautiful Patti Boyd who was the inspiration for "Something" by her husband George Harrison...and Layla, Bell Bottom Jeans and the Way you look Tonight by Eric Clapton who finally wore her down with his obsession with her and she married him. According to Patti ..who admits she was no saint ....it was George and Eric's affairs with other women that mostly led to the breakdown of both marriages. Of course they were all stoned out their minds during this time so were not making the best choices....but I remember my friend Denise telling me one time...that you could be the most beautiful woman in the world..and we were talking at the time about Halle Berry being cheated on again by her 2nd husband...and you have to know it has nothing to do with you....it seems to be an inherent weakness in men...no self control or our system of marriage and commitment that you state a vow one time and it is supposed to last you the rest of your life.
I think the Cherokee have it right...A one year Coming together ceremony with an optional yearly renewal....most people can keep from passing that line into betrayal for at least a year. Should be mandatory..anyway this all I guess came back to me again to "see" even the most beautiful and loved women in the world get screwed around on. Man!! Eric Clapton's "I'm sorry" just came on!! ....feels like he is talking to me...I use this song to teach merengue to...hmmm. It seems to be the connection we crave whether its a good one or not. Patti talked about how Eric was so strung out on heroin cause he couldn't have her that George had him come to New York for the concert for Bangaladesh and had to get the most pure heroin for him...cause he snorted it...just to get him to stand up on stage and play the concert. So I had to find it on youtube ...he was so amazing. They stayed best buds during all this over Patti in fact they had a drunken guitar duel in front of her ...Eric won of course and that was it......men do this i know...why break up a friendship over a woman? How do they do that? It's a good thing really as they can get past stuff and maybe its because they don't give in to their emotions ??
Oh and then on Matt Lauer he talked about when he found out at nine...that his sister was his mother and his parents were his grandparents. Then recently found out that his father was his 15 year old mother's one night stand with a Canadian soldier who turned out to be a piano player and singer who wandered from bar to bar...and women...(thus the song My Father's Eyes). This was probably old news to you guys but I hadn't put it all together in a storyline before and in light of my recent revelation that my lack of confidence pattern was mostly due to the many times I had been cheated on...well...its still releasing ...and seeing how we can really create and re-create our dramas/storylines/scripts. Here is George and his buddy Eric excellent as always.
