Active Imagination Play at Week 1 with Alton Wasson by Elizabeth Reid

I wrapped the two colors of clay around my hand and placed it in the world

White and brown clay.

Ambivalence...  either/or.

Each person put their self designed lump of clay into the world.

The lovely lumps waited for action and connection.

Take chalk or crayon and play in the world.

Bright hues, hand and feet, swirls, mountains, trees, ponds and streams

Hearts, diamonds, silly shapes, and spirals.

Tell a story.

Line by line, word by word, image by image, projection next to projection.

Unfolding.

Each lump becomes more and more owned

    with more and more self care

      and more and more permission

"notice what you notice"

    and less and less and slowly even more less critique

    and less and less and slowly even more less judgement

    and less and less and slowly even more less fear.

The story builds

 

from feet, roots, earth, water, air, fire, bones, fluids, pumps, fascia, nets, nerves, mind, wind, trees, old mountains, tapping, consciousness, unconsciousness, either/or, both/and, transcendence.

Which drawer of the chest will open for you today? 

What treasures will you find in that drawer?

What language does this part of yourself speak?

Is there something new today?

Today may offer a chance to go over it all again. 

To start from the beginning.

A repeat.

I wrapped the two colors of clay around my hand and placed it in the world

White and brown clay.

Ambivalence...  either/or.

Then in rolled a cat and purring.

A tribal nose to nose, forehead to forehead touch in the warm breeze. 

New news.
