The Reading the Body weekend Salon intensive was a wonderful journey into the literature via mind and body. Words fail a bit- you had to be there- but we ate the book, attended, tumbled and laughed deeply. Here is a sample of some of the writing that came out of the weekend:
I hadn’t realized when I touched your hand,
or you touched mine, that I hold the hand of your mother,
the empty space you lover has left
embracing you like armor…
your cat’s fur caressing my skin…
I hear a child crying and run with you
ahead of the rush of water
that mounts canyon walls…

What is this weaving when we meet,
when each of us carries already an entire universe?
