Tangled Webs
Did I waste some time? Absolutely. Was it worth it? Yes, I think so. The tangled mess reminded me of life and Shakespeare. “Oh what a tangled web we weave…”
Learning without Striving
It was also lovely to appreciate that I could learn and improve, without striving for perfection. That’s something I’ve been considering a lot lately.
Staying Warm
Oddly enough when I do hands-on Feldenkrais lessons with clients, my hands warm up and I start shedding some of my extra layers.
Stop and Start
There are people—perhaps you’re one of them—who have an idea, gather the materials, and go for it. They don’t have to be an expert; they don’t have to determine the perfect approach; they just get in there and do it. I admire those who can jump right in.
Off to a Slow Start
This might be a good time to remind y’all—and me—that January 1 is just another day. January 8 is also just another day. Another day to breathe, move, appreciate.
Merry Christmas, Y’all!
Wishing you and yours all things Merry and Bright!
Being Early
After that we had to sing a Christmas carol – maybe it was Silent Night. Not such a good idea, because most of us couldn’t carry a tune.
Light and Dark
There’s a Feldenkrais lesson that has “Havdalah blessing” in the title. Oddly enough, it’s a lesson focused on moving the legs in a particular way.
Listening for Silence
If you find yourself feeling out of sorts, could it be related to feeling torn between our culture’s seasonal demands, and nature’s seasonal invitations?
Really a Weaver?
It may or may not have taken some moments to figure out where I was in the process, but I figured it out and did some weaving.
