Hearts belonging
Lately I’ve been thinking about belonging. I struggled to find it among people growing up, but in the forest i felt safe and held by the trees. They felt like listeners to me. During a sit a while back, my nervous system had eased just enough(thanks!) to hear, and feel, quite a similar steady holding from my own heartbeat. It made me wonder where might the earth beat? The trees listened, but when I started listening back, i've found they have SO much to teach. I'm reminded of a line from AURORA’s The Essence: “As the trees- cry their leaves... vulnerable, just like me.” It’s from one of my favorite albums, What Happened to The Heart? Im wondering what you may have learned from trees? Or what words, lyrics, or images have opened your heart lately? Heres a melty bead heart i made at the inpatient mental health facility I was recently at. Its special to me because my wounds, brokenness, haven't gone away, love grows around them.

I feel this belongs here. @Tim Gray shared this poem with me a while back. The House of Belonging by David Whyte

Jesse, thinking about what you said, how love grows around wounds.. trees teach that too. They grow around rocks, through cracks, they find their way underground, as they reach for the sun. I've got a lil' riddle for you today. What do you do, if you get lost in an Icelandic forest? 🌲🌲🌳
question
I've been wondering about remaining in the seat of the witness vs just like being the sensation?

@Tim Gray 🌌 I've never heard depersonalization described as a skill before! 😊 I associate that word with trauma/ dissociation/ derealization. I'd call it disidentification/ non-attachment or just awareness of awareness.. maybe viewing yourself from above/outside yourself.. which is the same as depersonalization I guess, without the heavy connotation. Loved how you explained this though!
When I dance, I break free…
Wanted to share this text by Gabrielle Roth (founder of the 5Rhymts), I made this photo yesterday during my 5Rhytms dance session. Our teacher had this hanging under her dj set. I relate to every word of it and it is magical. Together with YogaNidra, this dancing (with a group) has been my source of transformation and healing. And it is becoming more and more ecstatic 🤩 When I dance, I break free. I make up my own steps, Let the beat all the way into my soul. I ride on the waves of the music like a surfer. I bump against parts of myself, Go between, around, strecht what I know. I go where I have never been. Through dance I’ve journeyed Through my body Into my heart Past my mind Into another dimension of existence, A dimension I call ectasy, Total communion with spirit. 🙏🙏🙏

@Tim Gray ​Ah ok-ok-ó—k. I don't kultivate so much as xperience. My steeltrap mind for musik/art that moves me means there's no eskape. Every element viscerally imprints like a sensory tattoo. Bass my lover—Treble my pet sparrow—Melody my other half. I fall into rabbitholes of artist's backlogs, save musik/video in random playlists I seldom revisit; kaotik kuration. ​As for my own Kreations—I'm konduit. Kreativity and I kollaborate with Kreative Kaos™ <—paradox. ​It's kross-modal synesþesia. Everything is non-linear, spatial and unprediktable. Projekts start somewhere and xpand in all direktions, similar to how mycelial growth xpands radially from a point. I'm still learning how to xternalize my internal topology, and it is a problem, my level of dysorganization overwhelms me! Muse is konstant, but I have the xecutive/ planning skills of a dogg [no offense d-o-dobble-g]. I've tried mindmaps, but need to be inside a kube and draw in space all around me. I see form and movement in whitespace, letters and words pattern [verb]. It makes me nauseous sometimes. Language speaks to me, their intrikate arkitekture feels alive and breathing, I just kapture. Its ordinal linguistik personifikation I think [or its just me]. Language wants to have fun, be tangible—ᴾᴸᴬᵞ▷—brea k rules. I bend while I rulebr eak, to not bre ak the words themselves. I'm a hypermobile synesþist. It's xhilarating and xhausting. What about you? How do you kultivate your kreations? Or were you simply asking for a playlist ? 😅

Being doesn't wait —being happens now— ​Take nuts and seeds: they aren't waiting to sprout, longing for spring; they pulse potential until moisture, light & signals unlock their intricate code. They aren't enduring dormancy; they ARE dormancy —esse dormientium—being asleep. Now I'm going a lil' nuts myself. I'm done being patient, done waiting to sprout. I am sentient seed of potent me. I am the conditions that lead to growth; I am pondbottom. I am light refracting in water. I am water. I am all without which not, sine qua non. Incidentally, lotus blossoms blooming —Nelumbo nucifera—are pretty nuts!

@Geoff Plesa 🏝 I always love seeing you with your opensea sunrise background. During the first few 'lives,' I presumed it was artificial—the stillness feels unreal to me. Stunning foto, you lucky ducky. Stark kontrast with a darrk kloset.
