Thank you for this opportunity to practice having a long distance movement session with all of you today. The structure you provided was so straight forward and easy to follow. I have written as a creative forming and I am containing that for now to see what I am moved to share later. But I do hope to post my drawing of a hammock, because that is an image that is used in Contemplative Dance to talk about a safe container for all of us. This invitation from the International Gathering is for me and was for me in my movement session an extension of the safe hammock from my Week 2 experience with Contemplative Dance. With deep gratitude to all for the containers that allow authentic movement explorations. ~~~~Elizabeth

to be human means to rise up
to be human means to find an-other
to be human means to see all the dark and shiny sides inside and outside
to be human means to be seen
to be human means to see
