Welcome

Welcome!

I think the best and most appropriate thing would be to have a potluck dinner and a dance party! With live music from anyone wanting to play or sing! (and of course a fire in my wood stove)

It occurred to me today that since I updated my phone I might be able to post again. And so I tried and yes it worked!

So now I will sit with whether it makes sense to me to do so and what feels healthy.

Meanwhile. . . there is the lightest of snows just coming down. A pale gray sky and a wind that seems to be steadily increasing.

What I do:

Talk to myself out loud, sometimes I call it audio journaling & record. Sometimes I just speak out loud, it feels more honest to me at times. (easier to find my voice, hear myself) Sometimes I talk to the sun or to the moon. Sometimes I’m quiet, sometimes loud, just letting what needs to move through, move through.

Sing. Purely improvisational. Sometimes with words, mostly not. Letting sound move through my body. Playing with where I feel it, move it. Play quietly & often very loudly. It is quite wonderful. (I’ve been messing about and playing a little over five years)

Dance. Often with music playing. Sometimes just sitting and dancing with my arms and upper body.

And sometimes everything overlaps!

And. . . doing the work of living off grid in solitude & isolation. Which I have come to realize is a wonderful gift. Although terrifying at times as well!

And sometimes I distill my moments down into the tiniest of steps. . . hydrate, eat, rest, read, draw, color. . . maybe write. . . make space for grief if it’s tugging at the edges. . . and notice if anything is asking for my attention (solar batteries need a charge?)

Hello and Welcome

(for now I will keep comments off, not to keep you quiet, but to keep me here and keep this space gentle)
