Comment by Mary Barrett on January 7, 2009 at 10:21am: Deeper Than Words - this is a true. I find that TD dips into and then submerges down under the watery well of our core selves and rises up with needed images about who we are - the designs of the inner liquid movement, the tides and currents that are continuously describing the light and shadow of our life,heart and soul.

In my work for the past two years I've found words emerging! These are words that have to be written. They accompany images and my moving body as I draw. I write them backwards so they can be read from the other side. These are gut words, hard, soft, fiery and wet. A wounded child, a wounded lover, a wounded wife.
I was just emailing someone and wrote that TD has been important with my anger and grief. Why have I not come here to talk about this? I am so happy that while I've been "gone" others have come to the group. For a long while I felt alone here. That's why left.

I'm going to a workshop in which horse-human communication supports the work we will do on life transition and the choices, creativity and grace necessary to find our personal movement through it. I am so very excited without putting expectations on it. Which is hard for me.
I will be bring TD tools, of course!
