moonwork mini: waxing crescent 🌒
revolutions begin when people look each other in the eye, say "i want" & mean it. ––dorothy allison to amber hollibaugh, in the introduction to my dangerous desires: a queer girl dreaming her way home
notice your body. get comfier & longer. get a millimetre longer: you inherently deserve to take up the exact space you take up.
without working hard, trace your centreline as far as you can reach.
allow your body to respond to the prompt: i want...
your mind may have an answer. listen/feel below the neck for an answer, too.
if what you want can be had within the next 24 hours without harming yourself or others, have it. if it can't, remember you have choice in this duality:
you are not obligated to try to get what you want just because you know you want it
&
you can always make one tiny movement towards what you want even if it feels beyond you
one side of this duality will be easier/more familiar for you. one will be harder/less familiar.
choose & commit to your choice.
this prompt builds from friday's moonwork open practice.
