Movement is the Song of the Body

If

movement is the song of the body,

what song is your body singing today?

is that song fast or slow?

angry or grateful?

energized like electronic music or exhausted like a slow bluegrass drawl?

Is a blues about what could have been or a love ballad sharing of bliss?

loud like metal, or soft like a lullaby?

complex like a 10-piece band or simple like solo acapella?

 

And

as the body sings

How are you listening?

are you paying attention, hearing the nuances, the phrasing of the notes?

are you hearing the pauses?

are you hearing the notes not played?

do you turn up or down the volume when the song is a cry for help?

 

Thus

move to the beautiful music that your body is singing today

        feel each 

                    note + pause + nuance + cry

                                as you have never felt them before

As you move today, whether for exercise or a break at work, listen in a way you haven't listened in awhile. And consider write your own piece today, starting with the line "If movement is the song of the body..."
