A strange and unusual phenenomena. I was driving to work the other day, and my mouth felt funny, my lips and tongue in particular. I was singing along to my CD's as I have a propensity to do. And they just, the tongue and lips, felt different. I couldn't figure it out. And then I realized what it was. They were loose. They were relaxed. There was no tension in them. (of course, any singing teacher will tell you, they should always be that way when you sing.) But there I was noticing a difference in sensation. And until that moment, wasn't really aware of how tense I had become. So there I was, and was realizing, I was relaxed, or perhaps a better way to say it, I was in the process of learning to relax again. I mean, in general I'm a pretty mellow person, or always considered myself so. So I mean, let's face it, being just the lips and tongue, I've got many more muscles that need to relax yet. Still, it was interesting, and in a small, strange way, I knew it was progress.
