fun in the studio / כיף בסטודיו

After ballet class, I continued to move. 
The first phrase came to me yesterday 
while listening to "Billy Says Go" by Audion.
The second was born today, from the first .
(You will forgive any sloppiness. These are simply for memory.)
אחרי הכיתת בלט המשכתי לנוע ולזוז
אתמול הרעיון הראשון בא לי 
כאשר הקשבתי ל"בילי אומר לך" מאודין
השני נולד היום, מתוך הראשון

I continue to read Twyla Tharp's "The Creative Habit". 
Here is a summary of the book, given by contemplative photographer Kim Manley Ort (more about her).
Good things will come.

עוד כיף: הינה וידאו אחד מחזרה לפרוייקט "משי סקס ורעל" מהשנה 2011. שלחתי אותו למנהלים בעיר כדי אולי הם יאשרו לי לרקוד עוד פעם עם אוהד ושחר 

 For fun, here is one video from a rehearsal for the Silk, Sex and Poison project from 2011, under the tutelage of Liz Lerman, who was then a resident artist at Harvard to teach class and develop her work on Healing Wars. I sent this video to the managers of the Gaga Intensive in NYC today. I hope that they will accept me-- would be so good to dance with Ohad and Shahar again.

breathing

One of the fundamental organizing principles of our human lives, breathing, offers us in two basic types of experience. We can breathe passively, or without thinking. The body does its thing. The mind does its own thing.  We can breathe consciously. When we do, we experience the bridge between the body and the mind. Breathing passively keeps things moving, and allows the mind and our emotions to race ahead. Breathing consciously keeps things balanced, and acknowledges that the present moment reigns. Breathing passively makes space for the mind to fill itself. Breathing consciously makes space for the mind to empty and acknowledge the fullness of existence. After coming to first consciousness, at whatever hour, breathing passively is the habit that allows the mind to race ahead. The mind becomes louder and louder. But, breathing consciously allows us to expand that first moment, and become sensitive to the seed of today's Truth-feelings.  How quiet they can

the sunrise estate

The night carried me into the morning. The moon shone with light of our Star, who beckoned from beyond the sea. Inch by inch, our Star cast its light across the sky, across the fish and their hunters, the mountains and their lunar queen. Cavalries of cloud advanced from up over the mountain range, gray and gloomy from their travels. Kissed by the light, their edges softened and brightened, blue giving way to green, and then to gold. The sea waited patiently. In an instant, the sky flashed. The deep. inky black was now cerulean blue. Another flash. Cerulean to turquoise. What power, our Star has, to transform the wide sea with just a bat of an eye. The night carried me into the morning as a guest in the Court of  the Abundance. from 10 May, 2020

change, love, thanks

Since two months ago, my life has changed dramatically. I live in a different apartment in a different city. Like so many others, I take the train to work every morning and rely on it to return home every afternoon. I mount the same train car, stand in (almost) the same spot, and see the same faces, postures, and black jacket with white star painted onto the back. Some days, I feel tired, but I am invariably happy. My happiness visits me much more regularly, and last for longer than the night.  In the last two months, I have changed the way I exercise, socialize, and understand my place in the larger scheme of human society. I feel much more well-placed. Love permeates much more of my day, every day. The difference is palpable, and it is rare these days that moments of empty feelings stay empty for long. To the cosmos, the gods, and my ancestors, I offer sincere thanks. I want to take care to respect these gentle and profound gifts, and the relationships that sustain them.
