Let your soul free of the strings that hold it inside, let you body free of the selfmade restrictions that set it free. Dance . . . dance . . . dance.

Still working on the author function for importing from Blogger Blog at http://momobutoh.net ....thanks for your patience. So powerful to cycle through the word, image/drawing and then again into the body movement/dance when we connect and co-create with one another. I invite all members to do this consistently.

I wish you could see the big smile on my face as I read of the paper bark. Yes, that gentle boundary of containment....interesting, I never told you about the 12 senses practice but you found the first sense: the sense of ONE~derment! and that is paired with sense of TOUCH. They are both connected with our very earliest experiences of the world somatically....when we first learn how we are BOTH separated and connected by our skin....a membrane, boundary AND contact point all in one. Like bark. Keep sharing as you like....so glad you joined us....looking forward to introducing you on the conference call to all the others. Welcome welcome welcome!!

Dance your prayers, dance your pains, dance your love and sadness....this is all an offering of soul, truth and great importance. You have such ability to articulate, find the poems and images that suit perfectly. Gratitude for your contribution & dedication to all beings. Prayers for your pain, for all of our pain & suffering. This is heart wrenching. The Bon body refuge practice says that in order to transform pain we can not meet pain with pain...we must meet it with spaciousness. The images of you in the field and with the great open sky remind me of that.....the spaciousness holds the pain and it is thus able to dissolve into oneness.

Amazing with bare feet and short sleeve shirt. Different than our experience on 11/11/11 eh? There is a peacefulness in the sounds, the textures, your pace of being with it all. Wonderful that you got to go back and dance the full score again with one camera shot. I see you very concentrated and sincere in following your score with ernest presence and honor. I am wondering who those other people are there? That hat really suits you! Thank you for your dance...so touched by seeing the para11el offering sticks still standing there at sunset.
