Every single thing in Creation, living and inanimate, is part of one sacred interconnection of ENERGY; and LOVE is the meaning, the way, and the answer.

Listen to your heart

# data[].attributes.body
Love yourself, each other and your environment.

# data[].attributes.body
What does loving yourself mean? Loving each other means to be good to other people.

The environment...hmm...loving the environment. What if the environment looks sad?

Does this mean I should love it? Love to me is an emotion. Perhaps the writer meant to take

care of the environment in which I live? Or to make sure I like it a lot? The word "love" has many

interpretations....

This feels like my thoughts, but expressed in a beautiful, powerful and profound way.  The words CREATION, SACRED INTERCONNECTION and ENERGY stand out, but LOVE is the foundation of them all.  We talk about, think about, struggle with love...it's in the media, in movies, in music, popular culture, literature, etc...but it can often be so elusive.  Something that everyone strives for and wants to experience but may be hard to hold onto.  Love flows, love is freedom, LOVE just IS.  It doesn't belong to anyone or anything, love is all around us, all the time until the end of time.  We are made from and of the energy of love.  We are Love because we exist.

Sensation: When you lay down on the beach just where the water breaks, and you feel the ebb and flow of the ocean.  You can also feel the sand beneath your body moving.
Taste: liquid through a straw,  place, the wet sand where the beach meets the ocean,   sound, a faucet dripping or the end of a sigh or the end of a long note.
The photo means to me:  I see the meaning of time.  Time is a constant flow, a metaphorical breath.

What would it be if it were a
Sensation (Feeing inside or outside of body)The exhilaration of performing in front of an audience and the relief that comes after.  I’d sum it up as saying the sensation of the final bow.
Beverage: Cream with coffee in it
Fabric or Material: Water flowing down a steamed shower door
Food or Flavor: A decadent feast for a king
Place: A playground at the end of the day

To me, this sound is about bravery and fulfillment.  It is about doing something that you’re scared of, the pride that comes from courage and the relief with a job well done.  I hear a brave heart beat, the ring of adrenaline that comes with action and the sigh of relief.

I think of a nod to the creator and deep acceptance of the power and energy from that source.

# data[].attributes.body
Animal is the great lion, the icon of power, confidence and knowledge, Sensation is a warm tingle.  Time of day is the dawn.
What the sculpture says to me: The lion exhales a mighty roar and when there is nothing left in his lungs he inhales and receives light.

The flavor is citrus but sweetened, and the place is in the mountains watching the sun rise.
This piece feels very confident, bright, powerful with a big almost harsh (in your face) presence.  It took me several times of listening to it to realize the words “I have you” were spoken in this piece!

Animal-a glorious bird,   sensation, sitting in a glass of champagne with the bubbles bursting on your skin.  Materials, of nature-made of wood or pants.    Taste, sweet, light icy, frothy.     Song, dance music.    Time of day,  sunrise or sunset but with a symphony of colors.

This movement piece was a burst of joy that took took flight in all directions.  It flew upwards and then out towards me where I absorbed it.

A gesture or facial expression: That look of glee a child gets when they jump out and delightedly scare you from behind the door.
Article of clothing: Sneakers fresh from the box

What would this sculpture say if it had a voice? Weeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! wee wee wee all the way home!!!!

To me this sculpture is about the joy of play and how beautiful we are when we’re free from fear.  The first sound I got from this sculpture was weeeeeeee!  Like a otter sliding down a muddy slope into the water.  I felt freedom and the weightlessness of flight.  The green felt like it represented a fresh start and everything was light and nothing at all was heavy.  I thought of gleee.  A child’s joy at being able to participate in the laughter of others.

This sentence touches a chord.  It reminds me to be true to myself.  My inner voice is true and can be trusted.  Our hearts are the covenant of emotions whereas our heads can intellectualize and frequently can override our first raw response.  All emotions are positive, relevant and valuable whether they be fear, love or anger and can be heard through our hearts.

Sensation: Heavy, hard, spooky.  Beverage: Brown hard liquor.  Fabric/Material: Suit of Armor.  Food: Truffle/Mushroom ravioli.  Place: In a cave, and there may be bats lurking in the shadows.  Sound: Cymbal/gong.

The Photo felt like an opening after a long time of being closed and in darkness.  I noticed the heaviness and hardness of what appears to be a box, but I also noticed the light shining on it.  Hope just came to me…but I still feel a bit of hesitation and worry.

What would the movement be if it were an….

ANIMAL: A very affectionate cat
SENSATION: Pulling out laundry from the dryer
MATERIAL/FABRIC: Thick velvet
TASTE/FLAVOR: Camomile Tea
OTHER: An osprey playing on the wind, cartwheeling through the sky
OTHER: Making a drip sandcastle

For me this movement is about playing with things you love.  Cherishing every moment.  Feeling deeply into every nook and cranny of the moment like a lover over the body of life.  I love playing with short grain rice.  I love the way it feels in my hand.  I decided to make a yin yang sculpture with rice and coffee.  I made them both textured to show their playfulness.  I imagine the yin and yang sliding by one another caressing each other like waves.  Rejoicing in each other’s textures.

# data[].attributes.body
The essence of the sculpture: Animal…A giant panda peacefully eating a piece of bamboo, the sound of ocean waves, an Oreo cookie hovering over a glass of milk, a sly smile with a bit of curiosity, a dark brown and white, super soft turtleneck sweater.  A well loved comfortable arm chair that reclines, a nightmare that transforms into a good dream.
This sculpture would say in a deep but soothing voice:  “Trust me.  Everything is going to be okay.  It’s all connected, light and dark, feminine and masculine, good and bad…the light will prevail but there is not light without darkness.  Trust me.”

I see yin and yang.  Balance and being interconnected.  The angle seems significant with the lighter material in the foreground.  The textures are inviting to the touch.

The essence of the movement: A swan, calm sensation, a Terry cloth hooded bath robe, a slice of white bread.  A glass of milk.  Sitting alone at the edge of a pond.

This movement felt like flowing, or being in the flow.  Unbothered and content with being in solitude.  Moving but steady and balanced at the same time.

Sally: What I got as a final lesson from these chains as a collection

# data[].attributes.body
I was so overwhelmed by love throughout these chains.  Again and again I was brought to tears.  Over all, the lesson for me was about LOVE.  How it is there for the taking.  It is us.  When we reject love we reject ourselves.  I also got how scary that can be and how much courage it takes to accept love, our lovability and our oneness with all things and that the light doesn't exist without the dark, just as I (as a single being on the planet) don't exist without the you.  We are a bunch of I's who've agreed to accept the love that is our oneness.  What a gift this Masterclass has been for me.  Words that seemed to permeate all the chains for me are: Love, ebb and flow, lion, power and light.
