“It could be said that this is the perfect practice for growing older as well. For the moments are precious and in essence all we have. Finding freedom in letting go that keeps us expanding into surrender while fully honoring who we have become and are becoming….foreplay for that last moment of life when we experience the final letting go…..surrender.”

“It happened in a state of complete surrender as my body fell backwards without any fear into the waiting arms of another behind me. Awakening from this dream of last night I was immediately immersed in memories of the many years I spent in the free form dance (ecstatic dance/contact improv/partner dance improv) communities of wherever I happened to be living.”

“Grief and loss has followed me around throughout this lifetime knocking on my heart to surrender. There seemed to always be reasons why I wouldn’t give in fully to it. Excuses that I had to take care of others, earn a living, be responsible….and never give in fully to it.
As if when I did I would be scattered into pieces and blow away. Of no use to myself or others….”
