Abstract
Diving to deepen into my journey, going to that place where I reside. I am submerged beneath the place of words: seeing images, color, action, and movement. Hearing sound and melody. Feeling texture and degrees of moistness. Processing through my senses. I am deeply seated within my body in a place of the preverbal. I have been imprinted to access the world through my body and senses. I do not access through the process of the linear mind. My world is of patterns, movement, soft multi-focus, circular processing, connections, the ability to listen, and to sense. As I watch and listen to those around me who come through their thoughts and theories about the world, I see, hear, feel -- closed systems: a locking down of energy, calcification of pain, restriction of movement, and a lack of fluidity. There is frequently an absence of experiences to soften the thought base. As I look at these differences, I realize with a deep clarity why I am rarely in accord with what is around me. I recognize that my basic framework has been constructed of sensing and valuing which is in direct contrast to my environment with its language and structures of power.
