“I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul. Where I’ll end up, well I think only God really knows.” -Yusuf / Cat Stevens
Recently, my greatest practice and challenge is trusting the wind of life to carry me.
It seems to require surrender, yet intention. It seems to require sincerity and imperfection. It seems to require relearning, and relearning, and relearning a new orientation.
Can I release my destination? Can I open my heart to pleasure in the forever journey? Can I dance with the wind?
Yes, I can.

Olivia Anderson studies dance in her kitchen / on the stage / in the street / between time / as spirit calls her to do so. Olivia is currently 26 but sometimes she feels 16 and 80 at the same time. Olivia is moving through the world with care, intention, and a great curiosity that drives her love of people. The world, and Olivia, are both not ready for Olivia.
