Meditation expanding through constraint/opening space of mind

Personal
Awareness
Practice

  integrating/mingling body+mind, alone, but together


Open Space

  perceptual word goes from inner -> body/mind -> outer


Ensemble            inseparability
  this room
  this movement
  this space
  these people
  this fear
  this wretchedness
  here with you

becoming sane

   "Emotions are thoughts dressed up in fancy clothes."



(conscious(grace)subconscious)

Grace the structure
                                  of the inner
                                  + the outer



Play-mind is the definition of liberation.

Daily strategies for the personal journey - restrictions on accepting + rejecting impulses.

Cara, Jana, Victoria, Sheri .... Present

falling tumbling random tumblings
pick up sticks crayon in a line in an arc
in a post and beam standing one on the other
random order on the blank white page
...(This is it, don't jump ahead!)
random order
the colors like the bones in my body
like the lines of the room
like the rhythm of order
meter—syncopation, yes—but meter
there's a pulse to the falling

anything can happen but only these things do
