I am thankful for the desert
for the burn of the thirst
for without it
I would not know
how much I was watered
now as I am in the ocean’s last tide
I lay ready to return to the earth.

the river bed is used to rest the river body
we
approach
a
confluence
how many lifetimes were stitched together at your birth?
how many forms of bodies?
we start with a dream
in the dream there were three women...
i wonder now, how you remind yourself of your recovery.
can you come and float with me?
the women had no bodies
the women had one body
the women transformed into memories
the memories transformed into objects
are you a body or an object?
even memories must move with the current
a memory object
a memory portal
in parts, and limbs and sound [please watch video on full screen with sound on]
maybe we can cook together
maybe we can create more recipes for healing
