Transcript

Let your body sense into the experience of half light Feel the way it shivers on your skin as you conjure up the moment between day and night Let the experience of it seep into your skin Just as in the half light at the end of the day Boundaries between worlds seem to be thin Things fade and merge into one another Let your skin be one of those fading,

Merging boundaries Let the enchanted half light seep beneath the surface of your skin So that your sensations,

The experience of being in your body takes on a silvery,

Fairy-like quality At this moment,

At the boundary between the rule of the sun and the rule of the moon Every shift,

Things that were certain and solid have the chance to take on different forms Let your body begin to taste that possibility of transformation Let places that were heavy and hurting shape shift Look in the enchanted moment of twilight Let it lead you into yourself Into places that surprised you Into wordless,

Dreamy spaces The places in you where dreams are formed Surprising places Places where ordinary sight and ordinary thoughts don't reach And the more you try to hold on to anything,

The more slippery it becomes So there is nothing to do but let go Into the depths of the gathering dark It chauses gather the dark towards you like a cloak bid farewell to the fading light with ease greet the coming dark like an old friend let the moment of half light teach you that even as you stay with it nothing stays the same in every moment there is a fading from light to grey to black and back again and in fading there is also the possibility of stars so as you let yourself dissolve into the grey of dusk like smoke as you begin to surrender to the dark beginning to float and drift in her all encompassing embrace let that embrace also be studded with stars which can only show themselves as the daylight fades and the night rolls in
