Land grab. July 18th 2022. Thinking about the dua

Land grab. July 18th 2022.

Thinking about the duality of worshipping the land and extracting every possible thing from it. We humans are insatiable animals.

Got these Hamilton lyrics going round my brain…

“Life doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
(And we keep living anyway)”

Dissolving at dawn. July 18th 2022.

On the hottest day of the year, I’m experiencing the human urge to worship the sun, while simultaneously shying away from its frightful heat.

Feeling terrified for what’s to come, it’s difficult to find the words to describe the anger and fear that results from watching world leaders procrastinate in the face of disaster.

Learning to process loss and grief is a continuous

Learning to process loss and grief is a continuous life lesson. The last two years and more acutely the last two weeks have sharpened the need to work through these emotions. In the struggle to let go I keep coming back to this leaf, so graceful in its final form, preparing for release while everything around it blooms with fresh life. It always amazes me how nature teaches us. #grief #loss #aprocessofbecoming #embodiedpractice

Performing to no one. Performing with everything.

Performing to no one. Performing with everything. May 2022.

Scheduled a dance date at dawn in the bluebell woods. Slowly learning to move as part of nature, rather than admiring it from the outside as something separate from myself.
