maybe it was
because of your
approaching birthday
that YOU CAME TO MIND.
.
when he read that,
HE KNEW SHE MEANT HIM.
she had always
remembered his birthday,
wherever SHE’D BEEN.
LAST CHRISTMAS
had been the first one
in more than a decade
they had NOT HEARD
FROM each other at all.
.
+ didn’t it feel strange.
.
yes, INDEED.
she had to admit.

if we could all
just let go of the
UNNECESSARY
blurrclutterstuff
+ see more clearly
what is relevant.
.
in the way
we treat our bodies.
(AKA what we put in,
on + around them).
.
in the way
we treat our minds.
.
+ MAYBE
the voice of our hearts
will become clearer.
.
+ MAYBE
that will shift the way
we treat our surroundings.

TELL ME your story
+ I’ll tell you mine,
harry potter.

let’s do the
TENDU exercise
one more time
(encore une fois),
cause YES.
you were right
in SPEAKING UP.

sound: I Was a Tree
by Koko Brown | Sofar London
.
just as spring
had brought
all those
LOVE STORIES,
autumn was bringing
stories of melancholia.
stories of letting go.
.
ADMITTEDLY,
she had been attached.
maybe still was.
+ in her experience
it wasn’t pleasant.
.
ATTACHMENT
eventually
leads to
DETACHMENT.
every.
single.
time.
.
DETACHMENT
– also known as
.
THE MOST PROFOUND
PROCESS OF LETTING GO.
.
+ potentially a painful one
in human experience.
.
TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT.
.
music: Tes mains - Judith
.
what you saw in me
was not
what I’m meant to be.
I wish you’d see
how I’m setting free
what lies buried in me.
.
ALLOW ME to change
+ I’ll allow you to do so.
.
we’ve been linked
for a reason.
.
don’t you
RECOGNISE YOURSELF,
when you look at me.
.
let me be the light
you saw
when I was born.
.
let me share the love
you’ve nourished me with.
.
KNOW,
that I love you deeply.
.
from the bottom
of MY HEART.
however far
we’re APART.
you’re reflected
in all of MY ART.
.
BREAKING
phrases apart.
deep in
my heart
they’ll stay
together apart.
.
show me that chart,
which tells me
all the truths
about myself,
WHAT AN ILLUSION.
.
I could have
many truths,
illusions,
charts.
BROKEN HEARTS.

music: Anti Love Song

to WALK
for the sake of walking.
.
to DANCE

.
to consciously
BREAK CONVENTIONS
for the sake of consciously
breaking conventions.
.
to TALK
for the sake of talking.
…
+ I’m unsure of
whether we can
UNLOAD MEANING
off any given action
other than
the meaning of an action
in its purest form.
.
+ POSSIBLY
because we would be
classifying an action
as meaningless.
.
how DECADENT
to take such a
MEANINGLESS ACTION
just for the sake of it.

(feat. Brian Viglione)

EVERY body.
EVERY where.

kept coming.

MISSED

isn’t that FUNNY.

EVENTUALLY
she came to terms
with a different story.
.
you could’ve talked
about LONELINESS.
.
+ she felt those moments,
TOO.
.
MOSTLY THOUGH,
it was a story of
contentment with
the simplicity of life.
.
a story about
the courage to sit
WITH THE SELF.
until it had told
all its truths.
.
a story of doing
what life asked FROM her.
.
it wasn’t easy.
nor always pleasant.
BUT
nobody had said
life would be, RIGHT.
.
I can’t write about
COURAGE today.
even if I wanted to.
.
something deep about
love + connection?
SORRY HON,
not so much my jam
EITHER.
.
although.
do we have to be
successful experts
/ might we know
as much with
a history of failure?
.
in any field
I MEAN.

introduce you to.
LET ME
show you that.
LET ME
tell you what.
WHAT?

the situation
was exhausting
to say THE LEAST.
only much later
did she notice
the DEPTH
of that exhaustion.
.
she went + danced
HER HEART OUT
with weird people
on a sunday morning
11AM.
letting go + such business.

OH DEAR.
where are you heading.

AGE

from being thrown
out of concept by
the presence of beauty,
…
SHE observed
as she watched
HUMANNESS
gather + interact.
…
isn’t it funny how
WE ALL PLAY
the roles
of our characters.
…
+ she tried to describe
the role assigned to her.
…
.
music: Highwomen
by The Highwomen
.
it took her ages
to allow herself
to LISTEN to
.
+ sit with
that feeling of grief.
…
+ maybe because
she felt UNENTITLED
to feel all that sadness.
…
aren’t we all valid.
NO FUCKING IDEA.
which is exactly
the point,
YOU SEE.
…

music: Breathe by Lamprey

ADMITTING mistakes

tell me.
where is
this going.
where else
WOULD YOU
be following.
…
if things are just
PASSING THROUGH,
there is no ownership.
the same goes for
PEOPLE.
…
I don’t own my ideas,
I hold space for them
TO GROW.
here’s a radical thought:
apply this to all
creation processes.

I know it’s unfair.

SHE asked into
the dark nothingness
CALLED
insecurities of life + wasn’t
SURE,
whether she heard
an answer
/ NOT.
.
she reached out a hand.
WAS THERE to
listen + understand.
.
+ then
NOTHING.
.
ALSO:
there is no deep lesson
to this story.
I’M SORRY.
it’s just, I dare say,
how life might
AS WELL play.

the transition into autumn
was BY NO MEANS
a soft one,
but rather a sudden
(ALMOST unexpected)
change,
which matched her
INSIDE STORIES well.
.
WELL,
self-reflection
dove into
NEW DEPTHS.
.
+ distractions hit
themselves IN THE FACE,
thus evaporated naturally.
.
letting go of the summer
had been a harsh process.
but also one,
which left her sitting in
CALMNESS + SOLITUDE.
.
slowly adjusting to
the cold + darkness.
.
PLEASE,
let my bones
be strong enough
TO WALK ME THROUGH
this season.

WELL-BEING defined as
the ability to move between
ENGAGING + DISENGAGING
(in an activity).
CONNECTING + DISCONNECTING.
.
to move between
CYCLES OF EMOTIONS.
.
+ to see all the other
MOVING PEOPLE.
.
+ to sometimes
synchronize rhythms.
.
OPPOSED TO
getting stuck
in a static position.
.
HOW DO WE MAKE
THAT HAPPEN.
how do I move
INTO + OUT of connection.
how do I move
into + out of an emotion.
.
application to (movement)
PRACTICE:
how do I move
into + out of a place.
(opposed to focusing on
the end-form of the place only.).
.
music: I Don't Want to Know by PLANET WARDO
.
+ I let go.
of all that
weighs me down.
+ I let go.
of all that
holds me back from
BEING MY BEST SELF.
(what does that
really mean).
+ I let go.
from the very
CORE of me.
+ I let go.
of all that blurs
CLEAR VISION.
+ I let go.
to CREATE SPACE
within me.
+ I let go.
what has been
FORGIVEN long ago.
+ I let go.
of what is no longer
acceptable to hold onto.
+ I watch all that
clutter FLOW AWAY.
