the dance.
light found . el dorado cabin, squam . september 17, 2009
it is a dance
the light, the shadows
it is a choice
where to stand, where to live
and certain days
when i find the quiet
when someone holds the space
i twirl inside the gift of truth
i twirl inside the gift of light
*****
being in class with jen lee, well, it was kinda like this
yes
and you, you who might be reading this,
you who might be wishing for someone to hold the space while you share your truth,
i suggest this little piece of the storycatcher who is jen lee
yes
because it might just be the friend (the space) you are seeking
(how do i know that it might be what you need? well, because a little class called truth & consequences that took place in a cabin on a lake in new hampshire has changed my life. yes. changed my life.)
yes.

I am now totally sucked into her words.....reading back through her posts...nodding my head on a nearly constant basis. How I have never read her before is beyond me....
So glad that the class was, well, what you so beautifully describe above. It sounds perfect. Maybe that is not a proper word, but I am not sure there would be a proper word for the emotions and the experience.

Liz - this is beautiful! I been experiencing my own real life session in "truth and consequences" over the past week. Opening up with a dear person from my past...remembering...twiriling in some surpressed truths...leading to realizations of how the past can gently, yet so boldly weave it's way into our today...and even when we think we don't want to dance with our emotions, when we simply let go, we find ourselves twirling and soaking in that light and it warms us to the core and feeds our souls, builds us up, makes us stronger. Sadly, some simply cannot let go, and will only allow themselves to tap their toe to the beat in the shadows, still afraid to embrace the beauty of the light for themselves. I am wrestling in my mind this week for a certain "toe-tapper"...trying to come to terms with the fact that it is not my place to pull them into the light. It is so hard....it is so hard....
Thank you for your lovely words.
We made that magic together, mama.
beautiful my friend. i've been holding her 'fortunes' book close to me this week and soaking up that space she creates with her words throughout my day.
So happy to have shared that moment with you.
yummmmmm. Hello, my parking-lot fairy-- I only met you for a moment, but you gave me directions at a very important time: welcomed me, calmed my quivering, shy heart-- quite randomly-- with a smile.
This is such a lovely post.
I get it, I do.
Jen is magic & so are your words.
Twirl!
Sounds like it's time for chai so I can hear how it changed your life. Shall we do it before or after the Sacred Feminine photo workshop and the Egyptian spiritual mysteries & writing workshop changes mine?
to be present with you and all the beauties that day was a gift ..xoxo
hm. sounds like you've been processing your experience, eh? :) twirl, baby, twirl.
enjoy you and am sure will enjoy her
her classes, her words, her presence have changed me in ways i can't really articulate and i am so glad that i was there with you and everyone else, xo
