DAY 2
Today: I arrived feeling pretty neutral.
We did a sort of exercise reminiscent of Tai Chi; I thought about my energy. Then we began the necessary steps for trust falls and such. Raymon reminded us to feel grounded, rooted to the floor: again reminding me of Tai Chi. I liked the activity itself but the people I was working with did not seem so enthused. They were not comfortable. I on the other hand, who always had been like them in the past, decided to trust my partners almost all the way and I wanted to fall deeper than they would let me. Ever since then, last year, I always wanted to just giv’er in these types of activities: regaining my sense of adventure. Another thing that helped me trust these strangers was my own ability to catch people, never letting them fall. I knew if I could and would do it for these people, they would do the same for me. Raymon also told us that through these exercises and this class, we could do the unthinkable, we could do the impossible.

I wanna do that.
