Whence went the week?

So its Sunday again. I think that this blog will only be updated on the weekend as from Monday to Friday I hardly touch the ground!

The training is intense. On Tuesday I did seven and a half hours on the floor! Could hardly speak when I got home, let alone move. Sat massaging arnica into the soles of my feet. So it is really a stretch, physically, but also mentally as there is so much inner work that has to go on - and Silke, my teacher, has got the sight to see all that etheric stuff.  But I am not complaining - I LOVE it.

We started rehearsing for the big Centeniall Performance on Friday - met some other Eurythmists who will join us for some of the pieces.

I have chosen two pieces for my Solo work - for Music I am doing a Chopin Nocturne - Opus 9 No. 2 (you tube will play it for you) and it has a form choreographed by Dr. Steiner himself. It is a real challenge to match the form to the music and during my solo time with the pianist, Tim, who seems very Tim-id, I ventured to say "At the risk of sounding blasphemous, I reckon that Steiner was just doodling in the part of the form." Well, Tim gave a great big chuckle, so I discovered that he has a sense of humour and I can work much better with  him now!

For my Solo speech piece I have chosen a poem by Solovieff, A Russian poet, would you believe. I am going to write it here - as I have to learn it and I think I know it now:

To thee, Oh Earth my Goddess, now I kneel
And through thy Being's fragrant cloudy veil
The flaming of they deepest heart I feel
The beat of the world-pulse I hear and hail.

The noonday beams are sending their strong glowing
With blessing heavy from the light-dome down
And in their silent glare, the voices I hear growing
Of freedom-thirsty stream and songful forest brown

The Mystery of Marriage is here revealed, I trust
Between the Earth Soul and the Heaven's Light
And, burning in the flames of Love'd delight
All  earthly pain is blown away like dust.....


Wow!

Llandudno beach is my current flavour of the week. What a heavenly spot.

And here is Patick on the rocks...

I am living in a bubble. Reality is here and now and there is another bubble somewhere holding my other life.... my beloved family.... and friends.....xxx
