Movement and Communication ... what a powerful combination
The waves orchestrate a symphony
Joined by the birds conversations
Moved by the wind's breeze
Softened by the earth's soil
Heard by the audience's senses
Movement and Communication ... what a powerful combination

The cycle turns, meeting us again
One in an inward outward journey of mystery unveiled
One in a downward upward cleansing of organic stories released

The sun and moon relate, meeting us again
One in an amber warm halo that moves the light
One in a new blankness that expands creativity in sight

The birds and trees connect, meeting us again
One in a song of freedom, conversations alive
One in the root of expression, awareness revive

The birth and death unite, meeting us again
One in an expansion, letting come the breath of life spontaneously
One in a contraction, letting go the waste of mind digestively

The back and front merge, meeting us again
One in a mirror, reflecting a lineage of patterns, past into present
One in perception, sensing the becoming of future into present

The day and night dissolve, meeting us again
One in action, applying knowledge in experience
One in surrender, resting learning on a white canvas of essence

The individual and community enfold, meeting us again
One in presence, becoming peace of mind
One in belonging, unfolding the field of love in kind

soft rainbow light filters through the window
the warmth of the sun lightly kissing my face
i blush a pink blush of spring against jade green
hazy steam gently rising from asphalt
I unveil my layers
creation falls
through my fingers
bowing colours of light.

Fire fire fire .............
Transforming darkness to our true heart desire ....
Emerging forms join in one choir ....
Tracing hands expand a foundation, for a whole, entire ...

What sparks creativity in the midst of the ordinary?
What parks creativity when the business of the ordinary takes over?
***
What is a playground without a play?
What is a community without a commitment?
***
Co-creation the natural park of life's creativity
Co-creating the igniting spark of ordinary creativity
***
Creativity ... (re)activity ... sparks in natural parks ....
nothingness the seat of fullness
fullness the dance of oneness
oneness the embracing entrance
entrance the invitation to substance
substance the creation of humans
humans the activity of innocence
innocence the breath of wholeness
wholeness the carrier of peacefulness
peacefulness the emptiness of nothingness

What is co-creating?
a (k)new term being?
an echo-trac(e)ing?
a mystery unfolding?
a blessing igniting?
a harmony uniting?
a feeling enfolding?
a song enchanting?
a beauty expanding?
a movement enacting?
a body presencing?
a simplicity beyond questioning?
What is co-creating?
