A late post but the first writing for R&R
So far I have contained my curiosity and sat with the Rules unopened for a couple of days. I’m neither anxious nor expectant of what lies within them however I have wanted to observe my patience and listen for the moment to respond. At present there are two parts of my curiosity, the first being how will I be guided by the Rules that are given and to follow them to release me into my practice at the given moment. And secondly am I bold or brave enough to challenge them to braking point, to stretch and bend them so as to exercise my boundaries and interrogate their purpose. My only hope is that I honor and contribute bountifully as those who have experienced R&R in the past.
I was excited a few weeks ago when I asked Seth a question relating to the studio space in Yokohama and his reply was ‘one of the rules may be to not work in a studio or familiar place of practice’. I was immediately hooked!
I’m nearing the end of a summer vacation here in South Africa where loosely my mind and body has lain in a soft haze of eternal blue skies and horizons and the call of exotic birds awaken me from sleep every morning. It is the same as any other morning today however a step closer to my return to the Northern Hemisphere and R&R. Today I will open the electronic envelope and read the rules.
WOW!!!! I love the immediacy that struck me upon reading the few words and then I laughed. The seeming simplicity of the action it evokes is powerful and I want to get up and dance NOW. I think the rules will resonate within me for a while so I am happy for the time to arrive.
