embody

this morning's dim natural light in my room felt a very good companion for prayer movement. i started by doing movement to what i felt, which was just waking up and a bit sleepy still, and then moved into a verse: keep on sowing your seed, for you  never know which will grow - perhaps it all will. an interesting discovery is that the movement of waking up and this verse were similar. i see the verse in a new light now. perhaps it will be my morning verse.

it speaks about growth. and hope. and a constant doing. i feel this is a good way to start the day and i keep it until a new way comes along.

embodying thoughts, feelings, and words through movement is perhaps the most important thing i have learned in this training session. i played back some of the video footage from the past days and i didn't like seeing how i moved normally. i don't know if it was what i was wearing that aggravated it, but i knew that i moved that way for a reason also. it was a moving with uncertainty. have i always moved in this way? maybe, maybe not. but i don't want to stay like that. if in the desert - i am calling the past years away a desert now - i learned to embody through creating with material around me, then this right now is apt.
