edges

everything doesn’t fit together

finding edges

softening edges

feeling previously unfelt edges

inadvertently creating unwanted edges

meeting useful edges

we spoke and danced about how we might soften some edges

soften some edges from one state of being to another

and soften edges around a task -  beginning before we begin and perhaps not ending at the end 

and soften edges between the formal and the informal

and soften edges between us  - at a ‘who we are and what we each do’ level

and soften edges between us - at a skin level

and soften edges between us - as we move and as we watch

and we did this while also moving along and through all those other edges

you know the ones

hope and need and fear and joy and pain and expectation and the unexpected

quite incredible really

The above is a reflection on a two-week making process of everything doesn’t fit together, November 2019.
