An amazing day yet again, i might have to pinch myself just to make sure that this is real. thank you all for coming and look foward to seeing you all soon. it has been a while since my mad Monday brain spats have made an appearance so hear is another long awaited one, if you havent read one before give it a read. if you have...enjoy. love u all!!!! Burnt by the flame. The flame we manipulate is only a small fragment of our true inner being wanting to explode at the seams. When we say to people outside of this world, “oh i do fire twirling/spinning” we get all different kinds of reactions from people. And the first thing almost every person asks straight after is, “don’t you burn yourself?” The counter question is “are you afraid of being hurt? We don’t realise it but society teaches us to be afraid of fire from an early age, but not to be afraid of love and to actively search for it. Where we might a little burn, we will heal almost like the burn was never there. Were as when we fall in love and are hurt it takes us longer to overcome that emotionally and mentally. Here’s one solution. Fall in love with fire. Use it to warm your heart. Be happy with yourself. Learn to grow with it and overcome the fear that is in all of us when we start this journey. Whatever your toy is it becomes part of you, it becomes an extension of your body and in this moment you realise that there is something amazing happening. If we think back to when we were all young when we learned to read, write or even speak. We realise that when we pick up a prop for the first time and haven’t been shown anything at all about how to move it. we are then employed to just start moving it and seeing where it will take us. Where we end up is this amazing place that we create our selves. The destination is not the focus but our journeys to get there is where we find ourselves overcoming the fear, being brave and having confidence to tackle not only the hard things we want to do but it is more than that. We feel free from the bonds of earth when we nail that hard thing we have been working on for ages and when that happens we feel like we can do anything our hearts desire. Deep fears, hidden behind inhibition, low confidence/self esteem and the inability to feel like you belong are things everyone feels and experiences. But in this community we learn to overcome these through the use of play, connecting with others, sharing ideas/concepts and learning together through movement and skill, are why this space is amazing. As I sit here and ponder the events of the weekend just passed I realised that there is something that binds us all to this space. This space is like a paradise for a day. A place where you can come and learn and play, create and share and everything in between. The world of viral is a big one. It goes beyond what we consider it to be sometimes. When we all come together of a weekend we leave with smiles on our faces and warmth in our hearts. And this is something that is a part of me now, I hope you all feel the same way. Love you all and look forward to our next meet. Reece.xo
