How do we return to course, to feeling the wind behind us, underwing, a little ease, a little effortlessness? in the groove, aligned, harmonizing, even synchronous with life again?

Our bodies can hold exiled feelings, exhausted strategies of protection, burdensome beliefs, painful memories, stiffness, pain, and illness.

Daydreams are like the wings of a bird. They fold back & down– then lift & release. Rhythmically pushing, they comb through the past, and shape the future.

With gentleness, something intense.... emerges, emerges - heart ache vividly compressed against spring’s radiance -the density of the years marching on: perseverance, denial, betrayal - and little green buds surprise us with their vividness… in the moment, in the moment, we are alive

This poem was collaboratively written in the last moments of a Dance Movement Therapy group that I led at a Rehabilitation Center in Colorado for over 7 years.

Each day we have different experiences as we come to awareness practice. To be without bias toward our experience is important.

Friendship is a precious and sometimes subtle gift that starts from within.

What to Remember While Walking, a poem by David Whyte

As part of my healing and discovery through counseling and artistic expression, people were given the prompt of “contrast: light against darkness, curve and line, rough and smooth.”

Peace is as important as air. That's why we've all become lovers of dog hugs and cat memes. There has to be something in our lives that is quiet, something beyond words.

A candle before dawn. I love exploring and sharing the edges and depths of what it is to be human.
