Zen Zen Zo Stomping Ground - Week 2 - Part 1

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy – Dale Carnegie.

It's been a week of small implosions, some nestled in our chests, some in our minds, others in our hands, feet, toes, legs, elbows... necks...

We're now wrestling with more than just training. We're wrestling with change, failure, success, misunderstanding and grief.

I'm writing this after the 3rd day of week 2. Exactly half way through stomping ground.

The passing of Zen Zen Zo Patron Billie Brown lifted us off our feet for the week's beginning.

You don't just hear stories about this guy and not get something jamming at your chest. 

So we grabbed shit from the pointy end.

Viewpoints and Butoh. 

And after today... well slow motion is too fast for what's been happening. Bisoku.

--------------------------

She looks like a prostitute,

who's just been in a car accident,

and come back to work

too soon.

His legs are barbed wire.

Kangaroo skin

fermenting.

Stop lights are

lasers.

My feet are

coal,

steaming.

She looks pretty nice

in slow motion.
