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

This morning I screamed...


This morning I screamed and kicked the photocopier.
clearly, I am processing rage, resentment, both....
fortunately, there was only one witness
 and she was only slightly appalled
then, I went back to my office, did a fuck dance, and indulged in a little sniffle.
NOT a cry. A sniffle.

Today, I can tell you that this episode happened over two months ago.
I have sat on it since then. The rage, that is....not the photocopier.
Today I can tell you that today is all I've got.
I have been living deeply in these many 24 hours since I screamed
and kicked the photocopier. 

Today I have once again committed to being in today.
I need the clarity of boundary and the fuzziness of hope.
I need to do my work
and step back.
But mostly, step back.

I am leaning into these words from me
and the words that beckon from you.

    Hello, friends. Sorry for the long silence. Work has been strange. I have been strange. Feeling less strange now. Ready to write and read again. Big sigh of relief.

    Alright, that's it! For the first time in months I've decided to take a look around the blogosphere and see some of my old pals are doing and the first three I visit are about death,dying, living in the moment! Crap! There isn't nearly enough sex, drugs and rock 'n roll going on around here.

    Mr. C-- ha ha. Great comment. I will have to integrate the "real" big three in my next blog post. Now I will have to engage in some research activities to get me in the mood. Looking forward to interacting with you again soon.
