Ripples in a Cup


I place a heavy ceramic bowl into the steel sink and it makes ripples in the cup filled with water, perfect concentric circles. I am fascinated and do it again and again, enjoying the simple beauty, sensing the ripples that echo through my body every time I dance. Every footfall ripples my waters -- this is what heals me, cures me, why I dance, why so many dedicated dancers gathered on the wood floor for the Sunday Dance.



I think of Continuum Movement and Emilie Conrad’s dedication to water and motion; how well she knew this truth. We are two-thirds water, yet we rarely notice this basic element as it waves through us.
