This Time of Year

I was at the dentist yesterday.  The office is decorated with pumpkins and bats.  

Last night, a warm night, I lay outside on the deck with the moon and stars.  Then, the wind blew in as though bringing threads to connect a time of year when the veil between the living and the dead thins.

I’m with this quote by Audre Lorde:

We have to consciously study how to be tender

with each other until it becomes a habit.

Bats climb the walls at the dentist’s office
Examples of what happen if you don’t floss your teeth
The evening moon and stars

Circling

Joni Mitchell’s song The Circle Game is whirling through my head. And “we go round and round in the circle game”.

I’m doing eye exercises which makes me aware of the roundness of the eyeball and how I can use exercises to stimulate and visualize movement and fluidity there.  I’m widening and nourishing how I see, how I receive.  It’s about intimacy with ourselves and with the world.

The earth is round, twirling, and circling the sun.  We are motion and movement spinning change.  

Charlotte Selver, my  teacher of Sensory Awareness, work I came to in 1993, said of the work:

“This work is a very spiritual work. It has to do with waking up, with getting spirited to the last molecule. Spirited. Because it sits everywhere in us. Everywhere.”

Everywhere!

Enjoy the curves, awakening the spirit in living aware.  

Morning Fog now gone to return when earth and air combine to invite formation again
