emerging from environment
a local environment
what is ours? what is each person the sovereign owner of? their own body. is it a relationship like an "owner" tho? is that accurate? or is it an entire organizing system environment. part of. whole.
when someone's body falls ill
why did that happen? the immune system failed? the immune system didnt detect a new pathogen? the immune system was depleted? or was the body misbehaving? the body has it out for itself? that would be weird. my feeling is we are on the same side as our very own bodies.
embodiment workers say what? to work ~with~ our bodies
to be in relation with them
not dominate thru sheer force of will
to take it easy, to eat well, to be gentle
dancers say what? do they not dance with movement by cocreating with their body? moving how their body wants to move with the music for delight? for pleasure? for fun? if i was dancing & my knee suddenly twinged i would stop. that's my knee saying: im not down with this.
why wouldnt i listen? as a dancer to my very own knee?
