The WP Daily Word—Undulate
I’m reminded of a song of my youth. Gypsy Woman by Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions. It describes a lovely, dark-haired woman dancing around a campfire light. The song is full of imagery and longing. The images are so vivid that every time I hear the song, I can see her body undulate as all the men sit crosslegged near the campfire, entranced.
Today I found a different recording of the song, but I’m sure you will love it as much as I loved Mr. Mayfield’s rendition. Let it inspire you to relax, unwind, and dream. Allow your body to undulate to the smooth sounds of music!

Thanks, Penny! Your Curtis Mayfield version was a later, jazzier version. I had to go way back to find the one I remembered growing up. https://youtu.be/3Wd4tlX5t-Q
I hope you will give it a listen when you get a chance.
