I just returned from the New Orleans. I am experiencing geographical weather shock. When I left it was 85 degrees, sunny. Everything was green and it felt like the sun is always shining - at least for the 5 days I was there.
When I got into Minneapolis last night it was 47 degrees with blowing rain. This did not feel very welcoming. The rain and wind have continued throughout the day today. I wanted to sleep all day and escape the inevitable reality that winter is coming. We have the heat on, people are wearing coats, and there is a subtle edge to everything as we begin to face the inevitable.
I suppose the best way to accept this reality is to stop projecting into the future, right?
I take a deep breath, wiggle my shoulders and come back to this moment, where I can be warm in front of the fireplace, wearing my hoodie, and feel sorry for those folks down south that never get to make a snowman!
Interplay is a creative process for personal/community transformation. It uses a system of practices rooted in storytelling, movement, song, and stillness to help you gain access to your own "body wisdom" - what works best for you, what gives you purpose, what makes you fully alive.
