Nerve cells fire on
Nerve cells fire off
The natural biological rhythm of life
The sun comes up
The sun goes down
It sets
Rest
Can rest precede activity?
Maybe lie on your back
Let go of the job of being upright
Let the floor take your weight
Giving the motor cortex a much-earned break from orchestrating uprightness
That head is heavy
Nerve cells slowly begin to slide down to the place of settling
And here comes the lesson
A voice directs movement
A rest from a busy mind
An opportunity for nerve cells to become more efficient
Learning when to be on
And when to be off
The rest
The integration
Effortlessly reaping the reward of small movements
A rest of attention
Like a daydream
Waves of rest punctuate movements
The skeletal structure - the infrastructure
Strong yet mobile
Pieces of the jigsaw fit
The picture comes together
Bones
Muscles
Nerves
Breath
Thinking
Sensing
Moving
Feeling/s
Surroundings
All
Whole
And
Rest
Nerve cells fire off
And wait
Nerve cells fire on
To venture into the restful possibilities of Awareness Through Movement
