Description:
On the beach by the river where i found the bike with no brakes in the electrical storm last night

here's the space
geese and gulls
little birds
gentle waters, cold damp sand
road noise
and joggers nearby.

Rushes gently blowing, strong then gentle breeze, dark clouds then sun, constantly changing, rotating. Near the water shall I dive, precarious, silly.

There's A-M over the sea a long way away yet really close, I dance with her from afar copying shapes, affecting and effecting. I turn my back walk away and she's in my space- I'm not clear what hers is I'm enveloped by mine. She takes my shoulder and we duet in contact, leaning and rolling and turning and playing then leaping with energy, joyous and celebratory and a teensy bit fiery frustrated at the distance and glad of the connected space, I wonder how the funeral went, I hope this in some small way helps.

I feel the ground, the sand, the sense of expanse and I run, spin and dance reaching high then step and I am into a hole, where lies the crab, for little Emma. Anna's presence strong and welcome once again.

Beautiful thanks. I feel totally at peace in the warmth of the love and the sunshine

Present:Just me

Site: a quiet pond, shaded by oak and beech - water channelled in at one end fed by a spring. Pond and surrounding buildings (now gone) used for making paper until 1887.

Description:
The wind breathes very quietly from your direction.
A sense of stillness, time not moving,
summer’s wake dragging, just before she turns.
I start sitting, cross-legged, moving arms in the air currents - a spider scuttles as I breathe.
I like it here, on the ground, standing feels awkward, earth is more certain. I’m on all fours, padding the earth, a quadruped. knuckling the earth.A jogger vibrates across the space. I roll towards the pond, submerge one arm, sending ripples, pushing the water, playing in the coolness. Are you reflected too? Are you in the water?
Standing toward the West, body moving fluidly, wrists twisting. I'm on the ground again, rolling forward, backwards, sideways, slowly, pulling through my stomach, balancing, enjoying the contortions - the earth feels so important today.

Present:
Jo and the jogger

Aware of my geography, the compass, the earth’s curved surface between us, thoughts and feelings of you are directional, dancing in parallel.
