Dear E:

I’m in the yoga teacher turned movement coach boat that’s still trying to figure out where to dock.  It seems as though you’re on the other side of that transition?  I would love to pick your brain over a phone call sometime and just chat with you about what you’ve found works and doesn’t work, your biggest challenges, etc.

Dear A:

I wish I were on the other side of that transition. Am I? Thankfully I’m not at the very beginning anymore- I have stronger opinions and more answers but the challenge lies in how to get the message out, how to explain why I’m teaching this and not that, why I’m different and it’s different, but more than that, why it’s superior material. I have far more information now that is contemporary, empirical, revealing, revelatory, progressive.

It seems I’ve been circling and bumping at the dock for so long I’m not sure I’ll even know what landing feels like. Perhaps I’ll stay at sea for the long haul, resting in the rhythm of the waves. Perhaps there isn’t as hard a line as I supposed between then and now; the two of me blending more than bifurcating. One of the nicest things to happen to me this year while sailing around in the dark is bumping into more boats out here in these murky waters. People who have opened a door or a bottle like Alice in the rabbit’s den, who can’t go back now because they have seen to much and outgrown their shells, skins, container.
