coulou's cafe trumpet meditations (no. 17)

im back in brookyln now, just mixing/editing this meditation today had me wishing i was still in the woods. the craziest thing happened while i was there. on the last day at the cabin i went on a little sunset walk through the woods right outside. i poured myself a little glass of amaro and went along this trail with high bushes and trees on either side, the path was mostly moss too, a very peaceful and mystical little trail. i was about ten minutes out from the cabin when out of nowhere a black bear cub jumped out rightttt in front of me, like i almost tripped over the little bear. now the day before i thoughttt i had maybe seen bear poop on the trail lol so just by chance that morning i googled what to do if you see a black bear. 1. dont run 2. make yourself big 3. talk to the bear in a low and calm voice 4. keep a distance so the bear is no bigger than your thumb if you hold your hand up in front of it. there was more info on different kinds of situations, but the worst situation they said you could find yourself in is god forbid youre standing between a cub and the mother. well me oh my there i was standing right over this adorable bear cub, the bushes on either side were taller than me so this mother bear could be literally anywhere. my first thought, "you can't run thats the only thing they said you absolutely cannot do, a bear can run 35 miles per hour, you might hit 15 tops running on this trail you'd never make it." second thought, "f*** that im not waiting to see this mother bear." so i booked it and just kept running and running, hearing all these rustling sounds and hoping i wasnt gonna get pounced on. i kept running until i finally crossed this little bridge and then i turned around, no bear to be seen. my heart was pounding so hard it was all i could hear. i honestly just started laughing i couldn't believe it. probably me being very dramatic but jeeeez that was nuts. very grateful to be in one piece, glad i can keep doin this life thing. hope you enjoy this meditation! i feel like i say this every week but i'm still exploring this world of music and just hope these projects can bring you some sense of peace in this world.

also i just released a song on spotify "runnin" and it would mean the world if you checked it out. and meditations 13-16 are on bandcamp if you want to download the audio files. ok, lovely, hope you all have the most wonderful week.
