The Dance

In moments of delight and full focus
the pain disappears

Engage!

Engage with me

Together we bust each other out of the small tight boxes.

and fly and sing and dance and rest.

we each assist the other.

Welcome to the world.
Welcome to yourself.

Find yourself home in yourself,
now that you've been properly welcomed.

In advance.   In this way, we create a field of safety for spontaneous, dynamic,  mutually satisfying engagement to arise between and among individuals.   It is possible to: Address and level uneven power dynamics Minimize layers of separation Meet each other authentically, respectfully, and vulnerably, heart to heart Do you collude?   Sel...
