five rhythms: flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, stillness
each a single dance, together a circle
five seasons, including the transitions between the seasons
a time of great movement and resting
five elements: water births wood, births fire, births earth, births metal,
and then back to the source again, around and around
and it's all connected
each a single dance, and together another circle
circles within circles and intersecting circles
chinese traditional dances and movement meditations in circles
western tradition moving in lines and angles
five tastes, five emotions, five yin organs, six yang organs
correspondences moving and moving in on and on circles
and i wonder how on earth does an alien who wants to be an earthling again manage to move back into the circle
how does one summon up bravery to say, YO! i wanna be part of your circle
and I'M NOT AFRAID to love and live and laugh
and cry so hard that all the neighbors poke their heads out the windows far enough for all the alien (who are not alien) plants and sky and other friends all SEE
and smile
been coughing now for a full month
lungs/ chest area is connected with metal element
and time of autumn transition
and too much internal fire
and emotion of sadness
everytime i see venus in the sky at night
(she shines so brightly especially in the mountains, but even under the vegas-style nonstop city lights)
i remember every place and all the people i know and love
and i feel the love
but i also feel sad
it's one thing to say "i don't miss you... i love you know. and i know you know the difference."
and it's another thing to feel like
time passes by so quickly
and i wonder when/ if i will ever see you again
