I love idea of knowing the world through dance! Little Women popped up recently in my home. One of my favorites too, along with A Swiftly Tilting Planet/Wrinkle In Time
What do you think T.S. Elliot is saying? It's a funny time to read it...with everything dying but not dying. The backyard tree is almost naked. It goes first into color and first to strip bare and it was doomed long ago and came back. And I love how alive it is through winter when the sky bores through it with light, more stark and radiant than all summer long. There is a koan from my favorite book, The Sophia Code, which the Divine Mother's voice asserts that her love was there in the womb of no-thing (nothingness) listening for your soul's asking to be born before you (your soul) was ever created.
I read this part of Four Quartets as being a celebration, or at least acknowledgement, of the changing but also repeating, cycles, rhythms and seasons of life. I first read it when I was just a boy living on a farm, so lines like "Dung and death" seemed excitingly familiar.
Yes, I couldn't tell whether it was a reveling in or a submission to or a celebration or simply an elucidation of cycle...
How did growing up on a farm shape you? I loved learning that a lot of mushrooms we eat were first discovered on dung! Did you know Beatrix Potter's role in discovering mycelium?
So beautifully put: "my obsession to be understood rather than to understand." Gosh, if we could all address this, the world would change dramatically for the better, I think!!
Yes, to more dancing and singing. And I'm glad you have such a lovely partner!

I know! I'm going to try imagining myself as a bird!!
Oh I love that! I just love that!!!
I love that too, knowing the word through dance. A beautiful idea.
So beautiful!
I love your typo - as a queen of typos that often turn out to be cool :)
To know the word through dance
The word embodies as dance
The dancing wu li
The dancing christ
Laughing buddha
Dancing Sovereign Divinity
The word becomes you and me
The word expressing in every diversity, all humanity shining
Sovereignty
The word Dances you, becomes me
And the world dances itself beyond duality
FREE FREE FREE
To be you To be me
The Word becomes words
And Dances us FREE
In our DIVINITY
Surrendering to Divine Will
I AM danced
By the word dancing me into the world
To dance the world free
Of all oppression by the power of my word
Heaven on earth
Where Sovereignty is honored in every step
Unity is felt as we
At honoring the love we are
While letting others be free
The word dances us into unity that honors Sovereignty, Lovingly
And dance and dance and dance until we turn ourselves into the Light
Hah! Yes, wonderful typo. And beautiful poem!!
Thank you for running with this in such a delightful way! You've now made me think of East Coker and the dancers there http://www.davidgorman.com/4quartets/2-coker.htm

Thank you, back to you! And you're welcome! :) :) I'll take a look in a little <3
Thank you Jane! Love this story by @Christine Barker. How she feels, receives, expresses and communicates with inner self and the world! Love to you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I know, I was so moved by how Christine experiences the world. There are so many different ways to be a human!
OMGosh. I need an imaginary spirit bird! Or maybe a wise imaginary guide dog. Something....
Yes! Me, too!!
Wow! This is beautiful;
Tidbid that I don't like:
That at times I get too rigid with ideas that hinders collaboration because of my obsession to be understood rather than to understand
Dancing in the kitchen and singing in the shower I will do more of
I love and appreciate my partner, she is my rock 🙏
