A Dancing Practice for Two People in a Park

A dancing practice for two people at a distance in a park
Blending in with the daily landscape
Meeting each other as our everyday selves
Gradually up my awareness of internal space
Gradually sense more detail of my being
Quieten the everyday self
Leaning a little more into the earth
While falling a bit more into the sky
Just like someone in a park does, starting to exercise, no big deal
Lubricating and rotating the joining parts
Sensing my openings
Sensing my closings
Opening what feels good
Closing so I know more about opening
Expanding through effort
And the wonderful release of it afterwards
As it gets more natural to be unique,
Peer outward to see others
They are doing their thing
I am doing my thing
All is good
Sensing my desire
Sending my mind through my body
Letting memories, thoughts, recent messiness
Pass through me as part of the body landscape
What are the rhythms of a voice that hasn’t spoken for a while?
The rhythms that haven’t been exercised for a while?
Different moods that have been on hold?
Speak these rhythms
Project my energy outward into directions that haven’t been spoken for a while
This is part of my exercise
To remember the full palette of feeling in my body
Then more to come
In whatever speed and size it takes
(... a time that is not measured by time...)
It ends
You’ll know when it ends, because you’ll have
Gathered enough to harvest.
