the provenance of words is one of the mysteries we swim in. as is the body. we swim here too. in writing from the body, by sounding and sending measured breaths into the dark intimacy of our inner space, the resonant field resounds. words come in and out. one by one. respiration. from formlessness to form. inspiration.
my understanding of the resource of our fluid system comes from the work of emily conrad and continuum movement: we do not move. we are movement. we recapitulate the whole evolutionary process of life.
many writers have found the weaving of continuum movement with the practice of writing enhances the fabric of words.7 participants.
