Friday Score – Oct 23 2020

November 5, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

A FRIDAY SCORE 💫

Days get shorter and cooler in the northern hemisphere, longer and warmer in the southern. This score offers a chance to be outside in relation to things bigger than ourselves but can be done indoors as well.
Slightly altered text below, swipe for original.
Much love, @jeniwavelength & @gatablanco

A Score from Inwood Tree Rings to a Glacial Pothole to Erigone‘s Tail

At twilight, fit your body into, onto, or around a large boulder or some large rocks. Or fit your body into a part of the architecture of your home.

Palms down against the stone, wood, tile, or brick, fingers fluctuating between moments of levitation, feel the heat from the day’s sun or heat moving outward from the surface’s body to your body to the night air and out to the stars.

Imagine time, movement, and evaporation; light and decay outward and up, up, up.

Eyes open and focusing on the western evening sky:
Remain with the rock or surface.
Inhale deeply, slowly, into the rock.
Knowing that planets are passing one another.
inhale deeply, slowly.
Knowing that some star or planet is at its closest or farthest cycle to or from the Earth in our lifetime.
Inhale deeply, slowly.

Exhale quickly with several Ha! Ha! Ha!’s

Slowly, with intention, press your body deeply into the rock or surfaces grooves, growths, and dips.

Sink into the rock’s or surface’s layers, crust, and the core to the Earth’s movement and vibration.

Imagine the many cycles of movement, time, evaporation, light, and decay.

Close your eyes, place your feet on the ground.
Hum the earth’s vibration.
Hum the earth’s vibration.
Hum the earth’s vibration.
Aloud.

Slowly open your eyes to the evening night. Lift your body from the rock or surface without parting and stand on your feet.
