When I break a tiny bone in my foot, I learn (again, in new and different ways) about the power of stillness. That there is grief to feel when things break--bodies, schedules, plans--in letting go of how things were supposed to be. Also, bones are amazing! Healing begins in the first moments after injury and goes on for months. It takes the time it takes. How do we heed what the body needs? How can we move into stillness? What kind of movement practice is that?
