Semazen (Sufi 'Dance' Tradition)
... an act of holding one's arms and hands out, open to the sky and keeping the eyes closed, brushing your face once finished.
The word 'semazen' itself literally means 'sky dance' and for good reason. The 'dancers' themselves spin in a continual circle, balancing on mainly one foot, as famously as they've become known for doing. This level of rotation is superseded by another, as the 'dancer's all move in a larger ...
Nicaea and Bursa

Apartment
... where you are supposed to be, doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing in a place and time. I felt that a lot at Madison, but toward the end of my tenure there, that feeling waned, and it was very strange to me. Funny how I find it again in a place just about as far from 'home' as I could possibly get.
