Opening/closing is the breathing of my being. It is the motor that not only propels me through life but also draws life to and through me. It requires a strong and stable foundation to function at all well. This foundation is the support of my delicately aligned skeleton as outcrop of Earth : that is, me connected to the ground. Any work I do (on opening/closing) will bring me back, if I am at all honest, to the inadequacy of my internal quiet – the loving support I offer the life that flows through me.
