I was inspired to name this blog through my work with stone sculpting. I use only hand tools in this process which keeps me always at the point of contact with the stone – surface to surface, body to body. It is a dance of desires, choices, and feedback, sometimes physical, sometimes aesthetic. It is through this ongoing relationship that I develop a more nuanced awareness of my self as well as the selfhood of the stone that combine to form a unique expression. I view writing in a similar way. There is a kind of dance, a contact with language that is emerging and evolving, choreographing the deep inner movements of the psyche. My intent is to share these movements as part of my healing process and hopefully provide inspiration for your own.
