Thank you for this beautiful post 🤍 I’m going to be exploring further... the Sonic Meditations, Pauline Oliveros ...and the poem ´Horse Sings from Cloud’ dedicated to Dancing Breath ! - so alive and exciting - it gives me tingles, honestly. I find your substack such a joy 🙏✨
I really appreciated hearing you present in the video. Your first koan spoke to me strongly. It touches what I'm doing on Substack. After years of teaching and scholarly publishing (like your scholarly monk), I'm giving myself liberty to write first-person scenes with immediacy, among other things. There is satisfaction in the bamboo-strike of short essays drawn from life. And then one reconsiders how to talk or write about literature, after hearing those strikes.
Was it intentional to post this exactly on the anniversary day of Oliveros' death? She must have had some sense of humor, if those car horns are any indication. :-)
Where are all the 'likes' here? They are in dancing with the breath.
Breath is a dance, indeed.

Thank you, Tara! There are many koans about scholars who come to new life. You are in good company.
And I hadn’t realized it was the anniversary, though she certainly did have that kind of humor. I recently noticed that a share a birthday with her.
