Awakening

10:30 p.m. An 8 minute dance in the dark in the study. Beginning in a standing meditation, my hands and arms find movement. It feels like I am peeling back layers of my outer body in the space that surrounds me. The dance that unfolds is about awakening, opening, arriving back in this body-in-the-world after so many days of stillness. The dance slows  and ends in childs pose on the floor. I sit cross legged for awhile and linger in the sensation of my heart energetic and full of light. I felt tired before the dance, ready to collapse. Now I feel energized, alivened. Alice was here with me earlier. It was a gorgeous spring day. The night is now cooling and clear.
