first day of the second week and already my calves are burning
running in circles
falling
the ground beneath our feet is not solid
we are pushed around
and slam into ourselves
we have to surprise ourselves
we have to dig deeper
erasing all that we have built up in order to find something essential
i am searching for my essence
it is fleeting
it cannot be held, or figured out, or accomplished
it must be demanded
we are not dancing in space, we are space
i feel powerful and weak
humbled by my own limitations
trying to grasp the ungraspable
how do we move together but not the same
in unison but not identical?
can we move together?
can we (this group) overcome the lines that define us?
can we break down the walls
ride the wind
wings batting, batting, tumbling, falling , crashing into one another
surveying our place
we are held back by invisible fences
our strength is only strong in relation to our vulnerability
how soft can we be?
how strong?
erase, erase, erase
