to arrive
a movement poem for April 18, 2020 by Jill Randall
to softly land
in the moment presented
knees bent
soft ankles
receptive
fluid body
to feel it
to sense it
to say "yes"
and "now"
and "I am in it"
presence
plus
forward motion
what I dreamed of
schemed of
asked for
and now...
It's now.
Knowing,
Feeling,
Embracing,
Arriving.
*For Valerie Gutwirth

Hello!
Today's poem is dedicated to my dear friend Valerie Gutwirth. Thank you for your years of friendship, dreaming, scheming, collegiality, and dancing together.
The musical offering is = "the interim" on an album by Michael Wall and Jordan Chiolis. It is #1 on this playlist.
Today's poem leads to a movement exploration. No pressure for a full composition and movement phrase! Turn on the music and play with: a receptive, fluid body; sensing your body in this very moment in the day; and "arriving." What does arriving mean to you?
This is the dance for today!
