dance journal today I learned: ow, an intimate dynamic can genuinely improve my life in a million ways and also hurt me a lot. these can coexist - the first does not negate the second. hello there pain, I see you and I love you and I witness that you're mine. I choose health. https://t.co/kn17d6OnPt

woa, I’m awed that life continues. the unthinkable happens, & then I wake up the next day. & again the next. & then a good thing happens, while the unthinkable did also happen, & I still live in my body. that totality coexists as I grow bigger than the pain, even into new joy?? https://t.co/WH6Dt1UIWb

celebrating metabolism. the earth knows what to do w the decaying branches I lost on my way to renewed life. they're composting; I don't feel them anymore. this *has* hurt more than anything, & also— it's thru. my new branches r well & solid, & growing🌿 https://t.co/BKlpE3s4hd

wow learning to feel & dance w my fascia a week ago, has changed my movement quality! it feels easier, natural, obvious to inhabit space & presence. in earlier videos in this thread I can see I used effort, muscle tone to claim space - not here. overlap bw dance & bodywork 😍😍 https://t.co/8aKhif23ZI

feeling ungrounded, & floating in love, & a little sinister. & sensing more depth of presence into my pelvis and the floor. :: I discovered a thread of sensuality I can tap into, drop, & find & follow again (( full dance here: https://t.co/XCjKns2Qyw )) https://t.co/eMeGqxH23k

I’m swimming in lovely day-to-day positive experiences, & noticing: as I’m w/o stable identity or attachments, they’re not rlly sticking. remembering a younger time when beauty, love, depth for all environment felt merged, gravitatnl, obvious. :: the moonlight reminds me of you https://t.co/2jw7Uyz3fB

I love living with artists and I hope I get to do it for the entire rest of my life 💕🙏 the warehaus hosted a radiant, soulfully-crafted and hilarious burlesque show. here in the wee hours of the afterparty, a friend encouraged me up onto the stage 💗🌿 https://t.co/VhRyBCOiPg

@relic_radiation i hope to at least briefly get to live in an artist house at some point in my life. i got to go to an artist retreat once and that was one of the most nourishing things i ever experienced, so i can only wonder what it's like to live in it...really happy for you that you have this

@nat_sharpe_ I ain't even at the warehaus today, & also I still accept your summons 😍 playing w a theme of dissolving "all we know"...& how we & life r so much bigger than that. (( a song from years ago in my rave days that part of me now shrinks from as 'cheesy' ...? hello self I luv u )) https://t.co/Iqlj8aDA8q

:: I request another dream - So good to finally feel the benefits of the multifold forest fires I *have already* had. Life felt so much scarier when I believed there was nothing to welcome about them, & that I was the only thing that ever burned. https://t.co/Gr5xfYeJVt

omg my first contact improv video'd! thx esalen classmate🦋 so curious to *see* my moments of deeper-dropping-in, matching where I felt them. encourages me that it's safe to follow & unfold those feeling-threads when I feel them - vs. pinging them & backing off bc 'too intense'. https://t.co/gvHJuJqMjh

astonishing how good it feels to have access to an enormous beautiful space w giant mirrors. I feel like I can *breathe* & my movements are fuller. no video but - I dipped into the warehaus again today 💜- I may start going regularly, as self care or an artist date or the like

@relic_radiation Love it! Just made me wonder why we don’t dance on uneven surfaces. Maybe gentle hills or slopes… especially for style like this, it might be fun!
