Flow, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness
Grateful to have found a deeper insight into the 5 Rhythms Dance with an Intensive 6 weeks online zoom course, I love a good story with meaning and purpose behind an action. The course gave me a sense of compassion and connection.
Somewhere out there someone is lying in a hospital bed wondering about their life after stroke - whatever is happening for them I wish them the gift of imagination in their new way of being in the world. Maybe they will see how much I give to them from afar and think of them without them knowing. Energy in flow.
FLOW
A movement has history.
Beginning with the memory of not being able to move.
Replace dull aches with swells of motion.
Deep beside
Deep inside when a barely visible future was expected for me.
Thought kept me flowing.
The rhythm of visualised music and movement kept me breathing
STACCATO LEAPING
For all the times I leapt away
Even though I didn't move
My spirit flew around me
On fire - a rage to soothe
My disconnection from a time
When there was awe of where I'd landed
Hopes and dreams to fill my world
Not moving left me stranded
Now I leap with radiance
And energy reclaimed
A connected vibrant being
Like sunshine after rain !
THE CANON OF CHAOS
Take me as I am in my chaos
I've arrived ......on a wave of energy
Grounded in my chaos
And I'm as WILD as my inner child !
Free of everything!
Dancing with chaos
I SEE you,
And I MEET you, I GREET you
I take you as you are in your chaos!
We danced with our chaos
Alive
Magnificent
Popping
Just as it was for a moment
We saw each other from afar
And we were safe as we were
Catapulted from the canon of chaos....
LYRICAL LOVE
The wave to Lyrical....moved me,
Every time was its own dance.
A pathway.
Divine personal trance.
Live wholeheartedly,
Not just on the floor,
Breathe your soul expansion.
When you move out that door !
Release full lyrical love,
Let go...... let go !
Your body's emotion;
Be danced by your spirit,
A living devotion
STILLNESS
I needed stillness
Feeling it nudging gently between flow, staccato, chaos, lyrical
Stillness waited patiently without judging
Witnessing everything that I'd bought to the dance
Empty and expansive all at once
Ready to hold me in its presence
As the completion of a wave disappeared
Stillness stayed with me throughout the endlessness of time
INVITING INTEGRATION
Moving through Rythyms
Connection to each motion
My body dances it's own story
My life
Holding everything that's been inhaled and exhaled since I've landed on this Earth
Deep listening of past and future movements
Are integrated in between dance waves
Forevermore grateful
Living this life
Dancing through days and nights of discovery
Before I put this Blog together I acknowledged that throughout the day everyday life had triggered me - yet again. I thought about exactly what had triggered me, what sadness it had bought up, and held that pain until I felt it go. Life is life is life.
