Sipping a coffee as headed out to the farm for an early morning lesson. Cloudy skies in Ottawa gave way to sweet morning sunshine as we neared Vars.
No green buckets in the sand ring this morning. Just me, Luba and Sonja and scary light and shadows. We start by going to the grove where all the scary fairy folk live. Just standing around. Head down. Relax. Go back and forth through the gate. Slowly and quietly. From light to shadow.
Soon we head back to the ring where light and shadows and water puddles are now less scary, relatively speaking. We practise bending left, right, left, right, ride small circles, halt, head down. Walk towards Sonja who moves around the ring, in and out of the light and the shadows. We have a few spooks. We have lots of nice moments. I start to figure out how to dance with her so that we unblock and direct her energy.
Uwe and Sonja have really helped me to keep things in perspective lately. Yes, Luba has her silly moments about light and shadows (and trailer loading, among other things). The trick is to pay enough attention to keep moving forward, but not so much attention that you turn it into something bigger than it really is. "Don't let it crawl up your ass."
Keep the big picture in mind. Luba and I do lots of things very very well together :)
On the way home, one of my favourite CBC Radio 2 Morning segments, Under the Covers, played a cover of David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel" in Portuguese. Softens the edges of my rebel child.
Luba, my Rebel Rebel, Calamity's child. Hot tramp, I love you so!
