My favorite line from the poem by Amanda Gorman today: We lift our gazes not to what stands between us but what stands before us. She is amazing. #inauguration2021

We have come to be danced Not the pretty dance Not the pretty pretty, pick me, pick me dance But the claw our way back into the belly Of the sacred, sensual ani...mal dance The unhinged, unplugged, cat is out of its box dance The holding the precious moment in the palms Of our hands and feet dance. We have come to be danced Not the jiffy booby, shake your booty for him dance But the wring the sadness from our skin dance The blow the chip off our shoulder dance. The slap the apology from our posture dance. We have come to be danced Not the monkey see, monkey do dance One two dance like you One two three, dance like me dance but the grave robber, tomb stalker Tearing scabs and scars open dance The rub the rhythm raw against our soul dance. We have come to be danced Not the nice, invisible, self-conscious shuffle But the matted hair flying, voodoo mama Shaman shakin’ ancient bones dance The strip us from our casings, return our wings Sharpen our claws and tongues dance The shed dead cells and slip into The luminous skin of love dance. We have come to be danced Not the hold our breath and wallow in the shallow end of the floor dance But the meeting of the trinity, the body breath and beat dance The shout hallelujah from the top of our thighs dance The mother may I? Yes you may take 10 giant leaps dance The olly olly oxen free free free dance The everyone can come to our heaven dance. We have come to be danced Where the kingdom’s collide In the cathedral of flesh To burn back into the light To unravel, to play, to fly, to pray To root in skin sanctuary We have come to be danced WE HAVE COME. -Jewel Mathieson Pearl Primus dancer http://www.noirguides.com/pearlprimus.html

Don’t miss the opportunities you have to sit down, without having to worry or think about doing anything. Lay down your burdens, your worries, and your projects.... Just sit and feel that you are alive. Sit with your son, your daughter, your partner, your friend. That’s enough to be happy. - Thich Nhat Hanh Painting: Tomas Sanchez #Mindfulness #Insight

It’s like a dance. And we have to give each being space to dance their dance. Everything is dancing; even the molecules inside the cells are dancing. But we mak...e our lives so heavy. We have these incredibly heavy burdens we carry with us like rocks in a big rucksack. We think that carrying this big heavy rucksack is our security; we think it grounds us. We don’t realize the freedom, the lightness of just dropping it off, letting it go. That doesn’t mean giving up relationships; it doesn’t mean giving up one’s profession, or one’s family,or one’s home. It has nothing to do with that; it’s not an external change. It’s an internal change. It’s a change from holding on tightly to holding very lightly. ~ Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo [Image: Rob Howarth]

Lockdown means dancing around the house a lot! Every moment is a moment to shake it out and dance. Play your favourite music and drop into your body. Mark the ground with your feet, hear the sound of your breath and the pumping, beating of your heart. Let it bring you to tears, joy and freedom. #danceasifnooneiswatching #movementismedicine #danceartist ... #irenimoves See more
