5 rhthyms gratitude

i am grateful for…

1) the 5 rhythms class j. and i just went to. the gabrielle roth thing. here are the five (cribbed from here). the idea is these are five ways to move, dance, play music, be in the world:

  • FLOWING – the fluid, continuous, grounded glide of our own movements
  • STACCATO – the percussive, pulsing beat that shapes us a thousand different ways
  • CHAOS – the rhythm of letting go, releasing into the catalytic wildness of our dance that can never be planned or repeated
  • LYRICAL – the rhythm of trance, where the weight of self-consciousness dissolves, where we lighten up and disappear into our own uniqueness
  • STILLNESS – the quiet emptiness, where gentle movements rise and fall, start and end, in a field of silence

2) moving, moving, moving

3) moving with other people

4) headbands that take all the hair out of my eyes
