Crossroad

"Presently you are at a crossroad-between your past and your possibilities." Spirit Weaver

5Rhythms is a practice that finds my emotions and helps me release an energy that holds pain, thoughts, happiness, memories, and time.  It is not a meditation or dance class but rather a 'prayer in motion.'

There is only one thing asked of everyone who attends- that there is no conversation with words.  On Tuesday night a man in his 50's dressed in black sued pants rocking his sun glasses at night found me on the floor.  We moved, smiled, giggled, and were able to express all our multi-personalities to each other without words.  Yet he felt the need to express one thing through the English language-"You are special." 

Those were the only words we exchanged with each other but I am still floating.  The wind has kissed my face softer since then and my mind is still hypnotized.  People are special.  It is interesting that we as a society associate the adjective-special- rather with jems, beauty, currency, and sometimes mental disorders. 

Exchange a smile with a stranger on the street or tell someone how special they are.  I promise you those words will not be a waste.  During my practice I was at a crossroad holding onto aspects of the past and torn about where I want my future to go.  "You are special" he said and my mind came back to the present moment:)  Bring someone here, now.
