Early morning, the water was too
cold to jump in, I simply rinsed
my face, feet and hand to say
hi to the lake.
I make coffee and prep for my
first butoh class online. I
work a bit in the morning on
random web project and
troubleshooting a shoping cart.
The Butoh class is really fun.
A mix of martial art, meditation
movement, yoga and theatre. It's
really what I was expecting, yet
my mind try to be cynical about
the whole experience. Butoh is
quite a unique pratice, it's
really easy to make fun of it.
But I'm hooked, I want to spend
the next few months to learn as
much as I can. I can see how
the dance practice has released
already some deeper stuff. I yoga
I don't really sweat, while in Karate
I don't go too deep in my stretch.
Both the karate and yoga doesn't
offer a creative improvisation
either.
Butoh brings it all in
one place. It also helps that
I was able to do all of the moves
in the class. It made me smile and
made me feel at home. We finished
the practice with some kicks.
She invited us to use a chair
which I brought in. It was to keep
balance while practicing kick!
If there is one thing I've been
teaching the kids at school this
year is to practice balance
while delivering multiple kicks.
So, yes, I did show off my balanced
kicking skills!
A friend contact me about his
new life plan that I can help
him with. I had a schedule meeting
with him at 2pm. It's really
exciting and he is really
passionate about it. He opens
up to me about his own awakening
and although very touch, I keep
it more professional. It's powerfull
to be part of such a transformation.
I spend the afternoon on a poster
design. I am not sure I like
designing poster anymore, as I could
spend so much time on one design.
But no one would pay for such an
ammount of work. Most client are
happy with some random art from
Canva and be done with it in
half an hour. I can't do that,
I can't produce that, and for
some reason I just went ahead
with that project.
The client also asked me about
some other strategy for his
business that didn't really make
sense, but he wanted to know my
take on it. No idea, but lets try
it out, it doesn't cost anytime
to try!
The a friend showed up. She had
planned a private lessons with
my wife. She is going trough
a rought time, so I decided to
spend some time with her and
lead her trough a few meditation
as my wife had the wrong date
planned and wasn't home.
A divine light invocation, a
yoga nidra practice and then a
simple breathing practice.
We had food together with her
family, and althoug there was a
lot of emotions, its was real and
a powerfull human interaction.
I was really glad to be there
for her and for her family.
My wife showed up a bit later,
wondering what was happening.
She was happy to learn that I
took over her private class.
Now I am back in the tippi.
It felt like a full day.
Lets meditate for a moment
to bring about changes around
me.
