Hush of Morning

I sit on a fragile branch
Perched in anticipation
Quietly and patiently

In this moment there is no expectation
Continuing to believe
Abundance is just the other side of shadow

To quiet the mind while sitting
softening the heart
Prosperity fills the space that is allowed

It has been awhile since I was in the studio with the company. Having shifted my focus spending more time developing EBAS and sharing the information outside of the academic community, I am so very pleased to be getting back to a more balanced approach to spending time with Amaranth and EBAS as much as I can. It feels so good this morning to be waking up and preparing for a day full of training and creative bliss with people who share the joy of the creative process and the simplicity and drama free rehearsal energy. I am certainly grateful and lucky.

Another thing I am truly thankful for is the fact that in today’s rehearsal I get to be a dancer again. I get to participate in the creative process in a role that has long been lost. A long lost love affair will be rising up once again, as I step into the role of dancer assisting a choreographer with her vision and her process. I do so much miss being in this place. I miss the simplicity of such a role as well as the responsibility of carrying the torch of the works vision.

Since finding balance in all areas of my life are crucial to me now, this is such a wonderful reflection of that change and of that release. May the creative energies of the universe support and carry the rehearsal process today and may I learn to lead by following and learn more about my own energies and needs at present through the simplicity of being and giving myself and of myself to someone else’s bliss.

Travel Challenge on the way to Rome

Ironically, shortly after my most recent post, Adventure in Traveling, I now sit awaiting a departure for Rome. As I sit here we are 50 minutes behind schedule for electrical reasons in the cabin. And still, I sit quietly. Quietly reading and taking in this time that the luxury of patience affords.

One detail I would like to share is that in this stillness u began to read a most wonderful book that seems to be reaching out and cupping my heart. Would we be in the air I would not be sharing with you my joy and or have read deeply into its spine.

The book in my lap is “Finding Inner Courage” by Mark Nepo. So far the book seems to be touching the very soul of what I need to be reading at this juncture in my life and is reinforcing all that I am learning and absorbing on my research leave this far. If you get a chance, check it out. Especially if your feeling the need for a good heartfelt and compassionate read.

Anyway, this little bit of stolen time, correction, given time is truly something to be grateful for. Thank you again journey for opening time, the heart, and a voice to reinforce my thoughts.
