Today was the #6January #wildprotest in #WashingtonDc in which getting up and ready to get myself squared away for the day's events to #StopTheSteal, was a task unto itself as for many years I have put my own corset on myself as I trained myself how to put on my own corset at this point over a decade ago. I did not have anyone in my life to help me to put on my corset so I suppose I can make a joke in reference to grabbing myself by my corset strings, and pushing on in comparison to the more well know statement; pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and push on. I can giggle a bit at minimum, though the reality of in an ironic twist I suppose.
Nonetheless once I finished making my outfit as it was and putting on makeup as I did, I had to being by going out to the water area to sing the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner. Hoping to find out if my voice could travel a bit of distance it was not until later I realized in order to find out whether or not my voice traveled singing the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner, I would have to go to the locations which it could possibly be heard or if there were reports of such I suppose that would be another way in some oddities. I wonder if it was heard and how far it went, though I am odd in certain other ways; as I cannot hear myself when I sing the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner, unless my voice squeaks and then I know, I messed up a bit of the tune of the song. Otherwise, I simply sing.
After arriving and parking then I walked with a couple of females who asked if I wanted to walk with them from the parking garage towards the area and spoke with them for a bit as we walked, though the parking situation was difficult to find parking and thankfully there was a spot found to go to. It was wonderful speaking with them as well as seeing so many people in support of the current President of the United States of America and knowing there are important aspects to pay attention to not only in reference to the 2020 election results, though also multiple factors throughout. Shortly after the President Dwight D Eisenhower building location I lost sight of the two of them which shortly after, I started singing the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner as well as America the Beautiful at the #DaughtersoftheAmericanRevolution building in reference to singing the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner as my first choice to begin such endeavors before the Washington Monument. Afterwards I went out to the national #Capitol at the #Ellipse #PresidentsPark which is close to the #WashingtonMonument, of which I walked up to and around to sing the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner again for the day in the corner area where the wind was not blowing as much of the cold air.
Personally for me it was an important point as the other day I had sung the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner at the first location the anthem was sung in the mid-late 1700s, however for the rally today in conjunction with where I grew up attending church; it seemed befitting to sing the national anthem at that location, first. The church I grew up attending of #OldTennentPresbyterianChurch was used as a hospital during the #RevolutionaryWar and General George Washington's private latrine/office is behind the building of the church on the hill, of which stopping to sing the anthem at that point of the event officially first; had its own additional symbolism, to such. I know for myself personally, though there might be others who can also see such additional symbolism whether for themselves and/or the situation of events.
Afterwards It was good to be closer to the Washington Monument again, as many more memories returned while in the area when going around the town a few days ago as well as today. I know I had grown up in #NewJersey with the ability to walk around in different boroughs though most only know the 5 main ones by name of #NewYorkCity as well as #Pittsburg and #Philadelphia having to do with my biological father's watch and jewelry business, however there were a few locations in #Maryland, #WashingtonDC, and #Delaware mainly also have had a few memory location points of when there was the jewelry and watch aspects for my biological father's jewelry and watch business. As he was the only one in a large area who was certified to work on #Bulova watches which also meant #Rolex, #Movado, #Seiko, and other higher end watches; he also was certified to be able to certify gemstones as well as make jewelry while also being able to repair and/or reset, such types of different pieces. Thus his client lists, were what they were.
As my maternal Grandfather randomly had business in the area as well, there were a few locations which reminded me of places he had work to do as he had work to do back in the mid to late 1980s and very early 1990s. The aspects of my paternal great grandparents or my Bok Gung and my Bok Pu the majority of memories have to do within the New York City areas and a little bit in New Jersey comparatively. Thus the time in the area has been quite interesting in a multitude of ways for several aspects, to put mildly. Nonetheless when at the Washington Monument and watching the amount of people touching the surface along with the shape of the monument, reminded me of a dream I had many years ago in such a manor and method of touching such a shaped symbol.
Once I finished singing I spoke with a few people at the area before I walked around a bit more and had completed a few videos to show what was going on, as well as the crowd size from different angles. I knew I could not force myself to get all the way to the front of the group where I was standing because of certain aspects, though I made it fairly deep within the groups of people to record a Facebook video which you can see on my social media account @L.D.Belle on Facebook; of which also, I took video footage of when walking outwards to see even more people had arrived for the event. I also completed a YouTube video on my official channel Reverend MeeLing; as well as a few other videos, between the two accounts. Please subscribe to my official YouTube Channel Reverend MeeLing as once there are enough subscribers, I can go live with such in comparison to uploading after the recording. As Facebook live shorted out a few times, that backup could have occurred in regards of the YouTube aspects if there had been the availability to go live at the time.
Nonetheless after listening to Katrina Townsend speak and as the family of the current President of the United States of America spoke in succession, I listened as I walked around a bit more as the large crowd of supporter patriots were large in numbers and it was awe-inspiring to see how many were there. I knew I had not been to an event that large before leaving for the day, however upon walking through to the more open area; I did not realize how accurate, I truly had been. Though in certain ways while the aspects of growing up in the way I had as a child, I could see certain similarities as well as I simply went on my way as I did; though obviously different in huge ways certain aspects of the amount of people in larger cities such as New York City, Philadelphia, and Pittsburg especially in reference to walking around while not forgetting about the parking situations for myself as well as others who attended such events as there had been two separate events on the website www.wildprotest.com for 6 January 2021 as the 5th had been added I think after I had either already arrived or while making my way out to the area during my trip.
As I walked around and was in awe of how many were around in support, I walked over to the #WorldWarIIMemorial. Upon walking through the entrance area to read the words inscribed about different portions including the females who stood up to fight for the United States of America where they could in conjunctions with all 50 of the states, I also noticed the wall of which there were hundreds if not thousands of stars embedded into a wall; though the feeling I had was wanting to hug the wall of stars, I have a feeling that does not necessarily have to do with what my maternal grandfather discussed when I was younger; though I still wanted to hug that area, as I could feel as I feel.
The structures and details were lovely to look at and through and at a point I noticed the fountain area was clear, and I went to go sing the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner for the fourth time of the day. I spoke with a male who brought up something about a play and a song, though I had no idea of what he was referring to as while some might know which play and which song; it was not one I knew of the words for which he was referring to, and I had not seen any musical play in my childhood; though I had played the flute and the piccolo as a child, that is not nearly the same in the slightest to such regards as those particular aspects were not my choice of music and were the choice of my teachers. The music which I had always preferred to play my flute and/or piccolo to had been classical music only, whereas my teachers preferred some of the musicals. For example the music teacher in Asher Holmes Elementary School enjoyed Little Shop of Horrors, whereas my music teacher in Marlboro Middle School enjoyed teaching more of the jazz style of music; and he was who I learned how to ply the piccolo through, as he had noticed my ability in reference to how I played the flute. After speaking briefly with the male about a song he had thought of being a good song for many to sing, I then quickly sang the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful for a few symbolic reasons albeit being absolutely cold as I took off my jacket in order to sing as I had.
Once I finished singing I continued walking around a bit before making my way back to the parking garage as my headaches were getting closer to migraine level, and I knew I needed to be able to go where I had wanted and planned to go. I admit there were certain feelings I started to pick up on while walking around the World War II memorial, though my pain levels started increasing the closer I went to leave from the wall of stars area. I know how my pain levels can be at times and thus I knew I needed to continue onward, thus even though I wanted to return to the field area again; I knew I needed to get to the parking garage to then go to the #MarineCorpsMuseum near #Quantico also known as the #Triangle, as I had hoped to be able to speak with someone about my one Marine Corps Medal of Honor Art Project guy for that particular location and if they had a recommendation of a possibility of a Marine who would be interested in working on that particular piece. However the location was closed, and thus I walked around the grounds for a little bit. I found where the chapel area is as well as the path which leads up to the area, including a few other pieces of which I paid attention to prior to finding an area shaped similar to a pentagon with engravings along the sides of.
I squeezed through the opening to go inside of the area, and thought it would be interesting to see how singing the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner would sound as maybe I could hear myself sing aside from if I messed up a note or my voice squeaked. That did not occur where I heard my own voice, though I did have quiet a few feelings rush through and I have been holding back the tears from such; as I felt as though some of the memorabilia within the museum itself had actually belonged to some Marines who had been referenced along the exterior walls of the area I was singing in of which is something I have been able to pick up on in different ways throughout my life. Clairvoyance, clasestinence, clairessentience, and etcetera are only a few aspects thereof for such in one word sort of explanations-ish.
Walking through the rest of the area as I went along I was able to meet a Chaplain and speak with him briefly, before he went as he had to for the day for what his schedule had been and I went as I had to. It was lovely to speak with him albeit briefly, and being able to show him the Marine in reference to as I wrote of earlier was definitely a highlight of time for my Medal of Honor Art Project. My Medal of Honor Art Project has always been important to me since first thinking of and of course, as I have worked upon. I know it is an odd art project, however it is important to me as I hoped it would be important to others in a multitude of ways. Hopefully, mostly good and great ways. I know there have been other situations in such, however in the overall sort of way being mostly towards the positive outlook thereof.
I admit on my way out to the Marine Corps Museum I took a small side trip as I felt there was a need to, which is ironic in its own way in a few aspects. Other than learning of the issues in reference to my microphone and the battery situation, more-so the irony of going towards the #Pentagon area as well as #ArlingtonNationalCemetery. As I was planning to sing the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner towards both regions, I was not able to stop according to the signs of the Pentagon area, and when at the Arlington National Cemetery area the batteries would not work. I do not know if that has to do with the energetic aspects in reference to the spirit aspect, and/or the fact of the other ironic portion of which finding a funeral procession making their way out of the area in a white limousine behind the black hearse carrying the casket of the flag draped. I admit I solemnly sang while making my way to the Marine Corps Museum, though I did find such to be a twist of oddity in itself.
Thus the overall day and events thereof, were quite intricate and enjoyable. A few links to a few official videos, and please subscribe and share.
