If we relax into the forces operating upon us then they will always stimulate – seemingly generate – spirit, which is not just the energy to deal with them but the energy to create and to understand. Gradually the veil lifts – the fog disperses – and we have a choice: whether to see more clearly or connect more deeply – rest on our laurels or dive in further. In reality spirit wont give us that choice.
Gravity and spirit – the two dominant forces in life. Attraction – energy drawing into the centre, and extension – energy driving out from the centre.
To create – investigate how spirit uses the materials and makes the future.

anything
         has to be easy enough
                    to get done
Larry Eigner
To remember – revive and reintegrate the past. Because I can only let go of a past that is resolved.
When I am fully present the space I fill cannot contain me, and thus I am thrust from this moment into the next.
Let the brush be relaxed and the heart be at ease.

Chang Dai-Chen
Progress – the onward march – means that day by day I move forward – improve. The good student feels this and so trusts (relaxes into) the process of progress – work.

The reason I suffer is because I cannot let go of the conviction that my suffering maintains and sustains my world. And in a way this conviction is true – my world depends upon my suffering. When I finally decide to stop suffering then my world will disintegrate – fall apart around me – and I will begin to experience the real world: a much more daunting prospect than living in the measly one of my own making. Until this happens everything remains an idea and I actually experience nothing.
Would then define the pelvis as cathartic region prime undulation, ultimate communion, internal while life is becoming, visible physical conversation between all body's limbs: Rhythm is life the space of time danced thru.

Cecil Taylor
Control is abuse

Spirit as a consequence of immersion
awakening the mind’s attention from the lethargy of custom

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Disobeyal is a better habit than obeyance.
