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.
