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
(בבקשה תסלחו לי שהריקוד שם לא כל כך נקי. אלה הם קשוט לזיכרון)

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).

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

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 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...
