Hi Ria, The conversation

Hi Ria,

 The conversation you link to at the easily amazed blog has continued to be juicey. Finn and Thomas have brought up some really rich points. It is still going on at the link you've provided and when comment threads get rich in content I often move them over to the easily amazed forum, as I have done with this one.

On the perspective of body, movement and art.

This afternoon I had a Gizmo talk (something like Skype but also free recording included) with Ashley and I was explaining to her that, from my point of view, Moving the Edge will be a being on the edge of these three perspectives and that it will give a spark of innovation that probably will also influence the next Salon and further gatherings.

Regarding the perspective of including body and art for ways of inquiry and for ways of expression Ashley shared a comment that was posted on her personal site. It gave words to what I try to get across... Thanks Thomas!

"I am deeply appreciative of what Finn (great name!) is saying here, but I would like to transcend and include what appears to be a thinking/word-centric approach to expressing from the middle (give it words... speak as you are moved to... the amount of words said...) I do not deny the power of language to express vital aspects of an emerging field, but I believe our culture's cult of rational discourse needs to be tempered with other pre- and trans-verbal modes of expression.

The feltsense of a communal field is a subtle and complex experience. Language is one of our most powerful tools for expressing the nuances of wholeness, but often not the most direct and potent."
