about something about my guesthouse
„There is a conversation between crisis and imagination.“
„ Es findet ein Gespräch statt zwischen der Krise und unserer Vorstellungskraft“
– adrienne maree brown
Where do we let
ourselves be touched?
By
pain, confusion, longing.
There,
in-between - - is touch -
possible — - and —- staying - with. possible.
Relationship doesn't emerge through - similarity.
Or simultaneity. But a pulse.
Touch, and --leave. And touch - and leave.
Breath and Vibration. Cracks and Sensitivities.
Opening.
Closing.
Gentle, holding muscles.
Carrying
space. Touch -
and leave. Touch. Carry the water. Carry the fire.
Carry the space between us.
Creativity - She - is
- space, a muscle, a practice and an attitude
- each moment,
- to enter
into relationship anew or at all.
And especially with
what is difficult. Loss leaves. Remains unrecognized.
Renounces itself. Screams angrily. Gives no information. Anxious. Frightening.
She asks not only: How do I get out of here?, but also:
What actually wants to emerge here?
What wants to be felt?
What wants to be seen?
What wants to be heard?
In these moments….
Sensing space, Sensing time
Making space, Making time
Preserving space, Preserving time
Shaping space, Shaping time for
- Taking a seat together.
Serving tea. Sipping.
Listening. Sensing. Thinking.
Coming into movement(s).
Entering Rumi's field *.
For just a moment. That is the agreement.
For a moment, - that is the agreement, we enter the field together.
Out of dogma.
Out of fear.
Who Am I? And: What actually wants to emerge here?
*Rumi`s field
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”
doesn't make any sense.
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
