I have growing to do. And stuff to figure out, that is Not Math.
But contact improv has been really gorgeous lately, and so was the play I went to last night. (The Hairy Ape, if you're in Chicago, though pretty much you aren't, I know.) Who knew there even were expressionist plays? Or what that might mean? Not me.
Also I think the growing and the figuring out might actually happen, which would be neat.
I realized today that when I was 18, I did not trust my body at all. The physical world was really scary and intimidating. And now I feel powerful. There are physical things I'm scared of, but I know my body is skillful and hard to hurt and I can take care of myself. And I like that feeling.
I guess the question is, can I get that feeling about the rest of me?
