Why did I call this The Dark Side?
I often joke those curious – thirsty – PT seekers that they are welcome to join our dark side…. Dark side has an ironic twist of humor to it, at least to me, in our protactile world. I feel liberated when it is all dark, no lights. Others frantically look for light, clinging to existence with light. Such a power struggle, but it is all within you. Power is within you. When power or in this case, light, goes out, our innate power feels such a thrill, that is where and when we are truly in power in terms of our way of living and when we let go of the visual and auditory noises, we seek out for contact with the environment and people- where the bump-ability , a term coined by John Lee Clark, counts here! When you are ready to let go of deeply-grained senses, other newfound senses unfold and then deepens… feel free to join, we will celebrate with all of that “noises” off!
Below is a short poem that was published in 2023:
| Power Out! by Hayley Broadway |
| Power out! All dark and black . . . Fret not Body bumps Hands gliding softly Feet and the floor Rug! Another rug! Body bumps into another We mesh and dance swiftly Away in the dark! |
