This is a beautiful piece and I resonate with it a lot. I recently wrote something about trying to move away from language sometimes and turn towards somatics more, to let go of a need to understand myself or be understood by others through words. But in that surrendering to the flow of experience, I don't give up on language entirely, and in fact can find it easier to write or speak with less attachment to the outcome. Your essay reminds me why I love and value writing and want to contribute some to the world. I'd love to be notified next time you open up a workshop to newcomers <3
Ah thank you so much!! Wrote this as much as a reminder for myself for these exact reasons. Really love your perspective on the body v mind “battle”. Gonna head over & read your words on that now!
