I keep thinking of topics to write about for my new blog. But it seems like I need to push them all back for now and write something about running for Body Choir Board of Directors.
First, I would say that the more you put into something the more you get out and I find that lately my dance is enriched and deeper than it has been for a while. Thinking about why...
The more days of the week I dance, the more of a practice the dance becomes. The more of a practice, as in daily practice, it is, the deeper I am able to go with it both physically and mentally. In the rest of my life, inner chatter is diminished and I have more moments of feeling peaceful and content. I become embodied more often and I feel better in general.< ...

Shared Center of Gravity
This week I've started to notice gravity pulling on me more than usual.... I think it started at the Tuesday night CI jam dancing with Fritz Blaw of Motorblade fame.
Somehow the shared center of gravity thing worked for me and I was finally able to have a sense of myself as the combined entity with four legs, four arms, two he ...

As so often happens, Dunya’s words seem spoken just for me. I am surprised again after all these years… How does she do that?
I am in a period of contraction now in my life, feeling squeezed from all sides. Reading this post (Dunya’s blog post on ‘Journal Crafting & Expansion’) gave me some space inside and I was able to take a deep breath and find some peace in remembering… hey, I’ve been here before and I remember it and I also remember how good the expansion feels. So I need to just be with my discomfort for a little while. I long for the expansion phase, but I will wait for it.

Wishing I had been there! The SMM was in New York state this year. The dance space is in The Mill and people stay in The Mansion. I have not been yet. Even though I had lost consciousness of the exact date it happened, after the fact I realized I had a compulsion to cook retreat-stye red lentil soup and eat it for dinner with a salad several days that week. I also cooked some kale and roasted roots. Then noticed it was SMM time. I tried to move a little more that week and was comforted in my personal practice when I would close my eyes during the slow movement and everyone was there with me.

Where to start? At Barton Springs I start at the shallow end of the pool where the water is only a few inches deep and I slowly wade in... Some people I know walk down the stairs where it is waist deep to start and some dive in the deep end first thing. I did dive in to start a few times, years ago...
