“teach others to See by Seeing.

teach others to Understand by Understanding.

lead others to Walk by Walking.

but walk Beside them and not in Front.

walk With them as i walk With you.

and we shall see these coming days already in fruition,

in every righteous action resolving inaction,

in every fiery force of Love dissolving fear.”

apparently today is world bipolar day. it is my father's diagnosis and my grandmother's diagnosis. it is my diagnosis, given 5 years ago next month. // for me it is a cosmology, a collection of symptoms emanating from trauma and survival, but never a life-sentence. // since 2020 when i found out about C-PTSD (complex-PTSD) my life changed. // since 2016 when the mythic world birthed a story for me that could recontextualize this diagnosis-- not as 'depressed' or 'manic,' but as light wolf and dark wolf, my life changed. // i am not a fucking neat set of words in the DSM. there is nothing neat about the process of finding out What This Is. // but/and. if you are struggling or suffering, or carry the same diagnosis-- know that what we are given is given to us for a reason. it has the keys to our gifts and our wisdom and our way of healing the world. // "bipolar II" is not the way i choose to characterize or define myself, but it is a point on a sprawling map-- receiving the diagnosis was the first step on a truly mythic journey of healing, recovery, and understanding/recognition of patterns that has deepened and continued to unfurl beyond my wildest dreams (and fears, lols). // thank you, from way back then, @caterpillar_soup_, for giving me the early phraseology of 'dangerous gift.'

For All The Things You Are, Mother. great mother. blessed mother. earth mother. my mother. her mother. my being a mother. for the return to and constant renewal of my faith. for all the ways you have found me. your sorrows and your joys. drawing the circle around my 2019 self who last said these hundreds of hail marys in my nana's church. ave maria, to your courage and your grace. for the mother and teenage daughter's prayers that made me cry and cry. over and over, for the Perfectness and the Mystery of Faith. #feastoftheannunciation
this will forever be one of my favorite fotos, taken at houdini's grave in queens back in 2016. i am thinking abt saturn returns, and dysregulation, and ministry, and past lives that have happened in This life. how many times in my own past i wanted So Much to disappear.
Feeling. 🌈🌷
particularly apropos wisdom from the lion king on slide 2 for this last day of winter, recorded in my younger yrs β˜€οΈπŸ¦
hallo, this is a 🌟 i have the best bruffr @vegnaroth + i have the best sistr @_back_to_the_garden_ post, the end *tips hat*
it has been three months since i slept here, in my own bed, in my childhood home. i didn't think this was possible. in my body, i feel how i have Changed. the first person i ran into was my dad, on the threshold. Of Course.
i did not get into grad school, to become a dance/movement therapist; my first ever attempt at a masters degree. it was a fantastickal Leap i took last month to get all the materials together, held preciously close to chest, amidst unfolding health concerns.
no one will know the depth of your journey but you. no one will know the difficulty of what you have traversed but you. don't let ⚑️fucking anyone⚑️-- fam, friend, boss, colleague, or partner alike -- invalidate the legitimacy of YOUR story. cuz you're the only damn one who can tell it. and believe me, just like you deserve to be here. your story deserves to be told.

what i call 'the legend session' is one of my favorite spaces to facilitate. this work was originally devised and piloted with many groups of friends and colleagues during spring 2020.
LET. YOURSELF. LAND. 🌞

what it means to dance as This body, This person, in This time. 🌷🌷🌷 on the morning of feb 1 i was given the opportunity to LEAP. the evening of feb 1 brought a big health scare that in its terror and message and Wisdom has been redirecting and leading me fwd. these two pathways-- a Big new choice for my future and investment in my practice, and investigations of bodily symptoms/feelings/past-perceived 'problems' and of course the massive associated Fears therein that have accompanied me since my early 20s, have been happening Concurrently-- there is no such thing as right place + timing, because this in many ways could be viewed as the Most inopportune + inconvenient timing. but it's not. there is only Now. and i have learned in these days more than i perhaps ever have about Resourcing, and the Ecosystems in which we live. β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’œπŸͺΊπŸŒ±
