Breathing Flowers
This is a simple practice to check in on your state of mind. Sit comfortably and rest your right or left hand on your lap or the arm of your chair. As you breathe in, close your hand gently. As you breathe out, open and relax your hand. You can start with one hand, then try with both hands, as your ability to maintain your awareness increases. Your hands are like flowers, opening and closing. Breathing in, make a very gentle fist, but don’t cause tension. Breathing out, just relax and let your hand open. See how many breaths you can follow and be aware of.
Sister Dang Nghiem, “Flowers in the Dark”
When you discover a meditation
That is simple and profound and
Gently powerful
The way it can shift your entire energetic being
And help you feel both grounded and light
And you wonder how you ever lived without it

A Chorus Line at TOFT
Even though it was in black and white, and quite grainy
It was an emotional experience
Realizing that the dancers were just a few years older than Mum
Seeing the embodied dancers of voices I’ve listened to on repeat since I was 10.
It still amazes me that the stories of dancers in New York could resonate with a 10-year-old living 10,000 miles away.
That incredible Marvin Hamlisch score
Hearing the audience hear it for the first time.
Imagine being able to see A Chorus Line for the first time?
Remember seeing A Chorus Line for the first time?!
Remember being 10
Remember taking ballet lessons
Remember tights and leotards and having your hair in a bun and hair nets and hair pins and hairspray
Remember ballet shoes and cross over wraps
Remember practise shoes and the pretty satin shoes
Remember the smell of the studio
Remember being awed and intimidated by the older girls
Remember wishing you were an older girl
Remember dancing in the living room and the light was your spotlight
(How did you know about spotlights?)
Remember the rush of joy.
