Vol. 66 Exchange of Happiness

3/20/2021

0 Comments

 
You make me smile,
I smile back to you. 

You smile back to me more;
I smile back to you more and more. 

You smile back to me more and more and more; 
I smile back to you more and more and more. 

It is an infinite exchange.
exchange of smile; exchange of joy
exchange of love

exchange of happiness

Vol. 65 No One & Oblivion

2/20/2021

1 Comment

 
OBLIVION 
When life ends,
Where do its memories go?
Must we look to History and Nature
To find them?
Or do they remain in our stead?



No One
Our bodies are tamed in this society.
We are forced to keep our spirits caged.
When we unleash
the deepest and most primal parts
of our true selves,
Do we get lost
in the destruction
Or do we find our way
To breathe in this world we live in now
as boundless no ones?

​
Concept by Yokko, Written by Alla Ilyasova

Vol. 64 Mu: empty

1/13/2021

0 Comments

 
Mu means empty,
but not really empty. 

Mu means not nothing. 
Mu is actually full and nothing. 
empty means not empty. 
empty is not nothing. 
empty is full. 
empty is possibility. 
Mu is a full of possibility.

Vol. 63 Soul Desire

12/26/2020

0 Comments

 
What  do I want? What do I want in my life? 
What do I need? What do I need to survive? 
What my soul is craving for? 
What my soul is aspiring for? 
What my soul is yearning for?
I know. 
I know when my soul is shaken. 
I know when my soul is vibrating. 
I know what my soul needs. My soul can not breath without it. 
I know. 
I have been there. 
I have witnessed the moment. 
Is that what my soul was assigned? 
Is that my soul purpose? 
I do not know. 
But, 
I do know what my soul is living and dying for. 
It is boiling from the bottom of my body.
It is NEED, It is Craving, It is Aspiring, It may be yearning.  
I know. 
What my soul desires.

Vol. 62 Words from Noguchi

11/24/2020

​OVERDO IS OVERDO
IF WE DO NOT DO OVERDO,
WE CAN DO OVERDO.

-Michizo Noguchi

Lately, I have been obsessed by his words through Noguchi Movement Practice. I am trying to find right phrase for this riddle in English.
And here is another way of saying...
Impossible is Impossible. 
If we do not do impossible thing, 
we can do impossible thing. 



I hope you get the philosophy behind of this :) My experience is... when I do a hamstrings stretch inspired by this, I actually can go further than I expect. Every time, it surprises me! 

MR. NOGUCHI : the founder of Noguchi Taisoh.

Vol. 61 Body with Breath & Impulse

10/25/2020

0 Comments

 
Breath is going out,
There is a moment of nothing,
And then
New air is coming into body. 
It flows inside of our bodies. 

Breath releases our impulses:
Our natural desires. 
Movement with breath supports to
Release unnecessary tensions:
Physically, mentally, emotionally,
Spiritually, and energetically

We meet new ourselves every time.
Revealing unknown ourselves.
 
Body starts breathing, 
It starts living.

Vol. 60 Desire / Ego / Boundaries

9/25/2020

0 Comments

 
An egg is in my belly.
It has a desire to hatch.
It has a desire to be born.
It has a desire to break through.
What is coming out?
Is it a bird?
Who wants to fly? 
Is it a monster?
Who wants to eat everything?
The bird turned into a monster?
Or this egg is courage, strength
which creates a shield from enemy. 
A shield of protection. 
Or this egg is a creation-
which produces a new life.
full of possibility.
This unknown egg is there
Sitting in the belly-
to be born.

Vol. 59 No One

8/27/2020

0 Comments

 
Limitation begins
The moment we were  born
Restriction
Awakening to what we are.
Destruction to stretch my limbs 
to the world of freedom
What am I ? 
I see you. you see me.
Living beings. animal, insects, plants...
all living beings, and non living beings.
Space, spirits - energy
I am you; you are me.
as a stone, cloud, a tree, flower and an insect.
I am nothing
and everything.
I breathe as the planet breathe. 

No one.

​Vol. 58 "PAUSE; Yet Life Goes On_2"

7/20/2020

0 Comments

 
​Through the window
I see. 
I see the street.
Through the window
I fear 
I am afraid 
Something coming in
something is knocking on the doow
I hear
Footsteps from upstairs 
sirens of ambulance Cars
People are talking outside of window 
where am I? I am here
where is the exit?
Light
Can you guide?
Light
Can you take me?
I carry
I live
I breathe
I dance
Life Goes On

6/14/2020

0 Comments

 
I breathe,
I fear,
I carry
Life, Death, Pain, Loss,
Yet,
Light of hope,
I believe
Life of beings, 
I embrace.

Flame in a long night 
I breathe,
I am alive,
Now, at this very moment
