Vinn's Journal

This screen that I type letters upon is a reminder of each day that presents itself.
This screen is a backdrop waiting to be filled in by marks alongside spaces separating symbols.
This day is a blank canvas which awaits the marks that I impress upon it within relations, declarations, and actions.
Fingers fly freely, constructing statements from the singular markings on the screen, in hopes of communication.
The declarations are wide-ranging; some of them celebrate the timing and tuning of a well conditioned and well coordinated effort at living the everyday dance.
Some lament the toil and trouble and deep pain that are viewed through the lens of suffering and worry.
Some turn and tumble in agitation and discomfort with what is occurring, uncertain as to a response that seems appropriate.
Some rest and restore in the knowing of peace and prosperity as a given merit beneath all seeming chaos and confusion.
It matters little what the make-up of these proclamations are, they are all carried away on the field of this steady, receptive, and unconditional backdrop.
All of these statements have in common a backdrop that is pristine and unspoiled.
The backdrop supporting all these dynamic movement movements have no personal stake, make no distinction, or play for favorites, they will hold and display equally whatever is placed on to them.
It is the backdrops that draw my attention more often these days.
It is the backdrops of the everyday dance that has caught my eye in its attempts to discern reality as it moves through and around.
It is the backdrops that provide a way to sail safely through the movement moments that grip the day.
It is the backdrops that render an embrace for all intimate relations that rise and fall, scatter and stumble, and bump and bumble, among lovers in a single instant.
It is the backdrops that allow for the reading of atrocities in the dailies and prevent our drowning in abject despondency.
It is the backdrops that grant comfort when imaging family members with their woes and workings for health and well being that continue to persist.
It is the backdrops that provide a slate for security as conditions at work stir up shakiness and discomfort.
It is the backdrops the reassure whenever I wish to turn any story of the moment into a saga of eternal truth.
There is a backdrop that will hold unconditionally and without prejudice any and all of the dance steps in my everyday dance.
Surrounding the shifting shape of all experience, marked by silent stillness; there is a field that is omnipresent love.
Learn to dance with this field in a way that embraces and extends all the steps that are taken in the dance room and in the everyday dance.
Learn to dance with this field without preconditioned outcome.
Learn to dance with this field both as lead and follow.
Learn to dance with this field with confidence in the steps taken.
Learn to dance with this field with enthusiasm for the movement moment.
Practicing Soul Motion™ in the dance room, and in the everyday dance, I am encouraged to dance as shape sifting space and as space shifting shape.
Dance well.
