A few weekends ago, I had the privilege of studying directly under two Druids - keepers of an ancient wisdom - in their presentation of a dance workshop entitled, "Give Peace a Dance." One of these men is the grandfather of our Encinitas Free-Form (or, non-denominational, if you prefer) Dance Community, which he and his son birthed ten years ago. During this amazing, winter weekend, I reveled not just in ample time spent back in the studio but in the embodied understanding that
I HAVE ARRIVED.
Over the past four plus years, and under P's tutelage, I have worked diligently at embodying the concepts and ideas that these wise men were relaying through movement - essential life ingredients for how to sow awareness, presence and deep listening into one's life in order to flourish in this new consciousness. Best of all, however, was beeing in the workshop with my Lover - someone with whom, after all these years, we simply flourish together while all of the projection and blame has flown out the window leaving mainly gentle, sweet LOVE with loads of SEX. YES! ~
REGENERATIVE INTIMACY IS THE GREATEST INDICATOR OF OUR OWN PERSONAL EVOLUTION AND HOW FAR WE HAVE COME TO BALANCE OURSELVES ONCE MORE IN A PLACE OF SHARED, CONNECTED SPACE.
You think it would bee easy, right? Seeing as how this is our natural, preferred state as human beeings? Unfortunately, all the mid-20th century, modern push for single family dwellings and cookie-cutter suburban developments, all of the television and the media, the solo commutes in cars with music that caters only to one person's needs (i.e. car radio and/or earphones), all the convenience and drive-thrus, the single person bedrooms and one person per phone, computer, car, house, etc., has done is to render us more disconnected from each other, more isolated from our own feeling and sensing bodies as well as from true, sustained intimacy with others, our communities and our planet. Do you want to know why our children keep arming themselves and walking into the prisons now known as public schools? Look here. It's simple. And, it's up to US ~ we can shift this tide.
Those who buy, sell and make the things want to keep selling in a product-based, results-oriented value system beecause the focus IS the bottom line. US, however, we're tired of such scarcity mentality beecause we understand what it is breeding ~ a fear-based society that no longer has the social skills with which to have our most primary needs (for REAL-TIME SEX, LOVE, TOUCH, and AFFECTION) met.
We can change this by making small yet life-altering choices, such as sharing everything we have, declaring that we do not need everything we are beeing taught to buy, and honoring that even our own 'weaknesses' do not have to bee changed beecause there are others whose strengths complement our frailties ~ all we need to do is partner with them. The choice is up to you.
What do you choose?
