We Are One - My New Revelation

When I think of you

I see the tree

the flower

the boat

on the water

the waves splashing

against her sides

elegantly floating through

--the energy of the world

In you I see all

-----the great spirit

-----the power

myself

you

the all-encompassing.

WOW

we are indeed

we are indeed connected as one

in you i see me

in me i see you

Choreographing is a Decision Making Process; so is Life

None lead to one. And one leads to understand we made the wrong one. One leads to the next. Next.

At the cusp of change I stand.

Before me I see an empty studio; my perspective changes as props are being put in place, bodies find their space, and movement is instructed/improvised/collaborated... Life.

How we fill it is our decision.

The process of creating a new dance. It's a decision making process. One decision shows something new. If it doesn't "work," we can reverse a mistake; either in the same rehearsal or in the next... but life isn't a rehearsal, is it?

Every decision determines a lesson we are going to learn. Some lessons last longer than a two-hour rehearsal, some may last two years, but I'm not conditioned to think that way --- Try it --- It doesn't work --- Change it --- Next --- Or... sit it out for a while and find (a different) meaning within that?

"Should I stay or should I go now?"

Today I will focus on the decision making process in the here and now for my new choreographic work "Duality of the Lotus." Now is the moment to live. Tomorrow is tomorrow. I'm making the decision to put off the decision.

What a Difference a Day Makes

What day is it today? Not Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday... but a day where we feel and should understand that living never becomes easy. Let's be open to grow and continue to grow and understand that joy and suffering are in essence really one. I want to live a life of awareness where I heal what has been and embrace what comes my way.

Monday started with a psycho-therapeutic massage and ended with a life-altering idea

Tuesday was used to reflect and realize

Wednesday was the day when emotions were expressed and the idea was verbalized and supported

Thursday is the day of furthered inspiration and actualization

What a difference a day makes...

Words of sincere encouragement and trust in that you are fully capable can come from unexpected places.

There are days I just want to sing and shout "I love life" and I enjoy every part of the journey, as challenging as it may be sometimes. "In suffering lies opportunity."

Every day is a precious one.

4 Short Poems

(written on 25 October 2010)

Where do you come from?

Can I trace you?

Do I want to?

I want you.

Just be with you.

Just be.

Be.

Be with me.

I love you.

********************************

When I see you, I smile.

Not just my mouth. I feel it in my eyes,

my nose, my lips, my ears, my hands writing this, my breasts

all my chakras are awakened.

No. 2 is up! Good morning!

Ik hou van jou lieverd.

********************************

Naked.

I am bare naked for you.

Vulnerable.

********************************

Your touch.

Your tush.

Love

Did I wait for Her?

Did I await It?

How to Define the Divine

The Mystic

The Intangible

The most soaring

The indelible...

El

Oh

Vee

Eeh

with every breath

oh how I'm feeling it

My chakras are opening up, they are blossoming

like a beautiful Magnolia tree that

looked out over the sea,

the land, the sky,

and endured all seasons,

may now sprout, blossom

and enjoy all the elements,

because

You are air, water, earth & fire.

I'm feeling you on my skin,

in my trunk, on my branches, my leaves

You are the Air that strokes my skin,

the Fire that warms my heart,

the Earth that grounds me,

and the

Water that moves me.

Baby, you take me places.

It is okay

(written on 20 October 2010)

It is okay to love me

It is okay to love who you want to love

The stars up above

are shining down on me

showing me the path

It is okay to love you

It is okay to love who you want to love

On this day--and the next--and the next

It is Spirit Day--a day of respect,

shining brightly, engaging, and loving.

Purple.

Color.

Rainbow.

Respect.

and

Love...

Eternally.

It is okay to love and be loved.
