Happy weekend
Jeff
It’s been a buzz sharing this week with you. Thank you for your comments, questions, thoughts. I’ve loved all our conversations. And thank you Jeff and team for this time.
Signing off, I leave you with this.
In the quest to learn more about yourself in and through movement,
to create fertile soil for sustained change,
go tenderly.
Tenderness softens,
quietens,
brings in a kind of a kindness,
plants the seeds of compassion,
starts a new conversation of acceptance between me and my SELF
me and another.
Tenderness creates a space
of possibility
that wasn’t there before,
an easeful responsiveness,
a gentle layer of listening
that
melts through judgement,
diffuses criticism,
defrosts anger,
dilutes fear,
dissolves more-than / less-than thoughts.
It makes magic.
Tenderly frees my breath.
I relax around my edges.
I soften my inner walls and spaces
around my limbs, my joints, my organs.
My heart begins to feel safe,
unencumbered,
unfettered.
I meet the moment,
senses awakened.
I notice differently,
present in and of my surroundings
in tenderness.

Reminds me of a song long ago, Try A Little Tenderness. I think I’m gonna try...🌱
Such beautiful writing, Ruth. Thank you!
