Feeling the Water - November 24, 2013

Just started to learn how to scull on a skinny little boat with ten foot oars. Picture those float on the top of the water surface bugs with long outrigger legs. The reaching oars provide the only stability in this set up and they also act as extensions of the hands, feeling the water through the length of the oars. It's a subtlety that I look forward to exploring as I become more comfortable and is reminiscent of craniosacral body work that connects into deep tissues without pressure but by feeling through layers. I hope to eventually experience it as a dance of skimming the surface.
