Interests: movement, stressed/transgressive embodiment, lived experience (body\space\time\relation)
expression ( word, dance, text, image, story, music, poetics)
learning, yielding......

Hopes for the blog:
offer up the wild intersectedness of lived experience and engage others in creative, expressive, perhaps irreverant, hopefully playful, and respectful encounters....
enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness

Unconditional

intuitively, you took my hands
at a moment of emotional intensity
you held them
without reservation
or shame

many moons later
your willingness, kindness and authenticity
sustain me
& I live in the warmth of knowing
what it means
to have someone
who's got my back

    At times I think having a friend is better than the eyes I have grown in the back of my head.

    Beautifull romantic, makes me feel at home, makes me want to feel like that once more, because I use to, before. But I do not think you can look for those things, they just do happen or not.

    It's all very well having someone to get your back, but every now and then you need someone to get your front :D
