Dancing Meditations

Dancers
and health therapists,
meditators
and educators,
speak of an embodied
listening
and teachable "CORE."

We need,
on bad days,
and want,
on better days,

To exercise,
stretch,
fill and empty,
appreciate
and open
our empowering MindBody Core,

With healthy, resilient outcomes predicted
as a return on investment
for such deep enlightening listening
and learning
intention,
integrity
of compassionate purpose.

Back in the day,

and warm spring breeze

philosophical,
spiritual
and natural lifeskills therapists,
polyglot poets 
and brilliant essayists,
lovers
and naked co-passionists,
storytellers
and environmental storymakers
spoke
and sang
and danced
to restore our healthy
holistically wealthy
"Soul"

While my Core
seems to be Here
and Now about my autonomous body,
and our shared Soul
an advocate for active democratic process

For those who see 
and sometimes hear
this mind-body

Janus-doublefaced, double-bound
leftbrain languaged Core curriculum distinction 
without experiential rightbrain sensory 
Soulfull/empty Zeroistic difference,

A non-elite sacred we
restoratively experienced much differently
than OldSchool royal WE,

As "tu" would prefer to soulfully heal

Personal ZeroSum risky secularized 
monetized Cores,

When we walk together
our Cores move in linear

And when we dance as one
our Souls feel 
and know
