A Fractal Ah Ha!

So - I was on my rebounder, 

happily focused 

up and down, 

quiet in an awareness of the spaces in between 

the pauses at the top and at the bottom

the moments when it all stops

the weight

the energy it takes to get it moving again

the energy it creates to keep it all moving

constantly changing and maintaining all at once simultaneously.

I reached out to answer the ringing phone.

A friend began sharing 

a conversation she had that morning 

with her running partner who manages her own private fund

talking about the effects on the market of the recent tsunami in Japan.

Partially attentive, 

not exactly sure what I was hearing, 

I kept listening, 

knowing I could ask, 

or follow along.

"Everything got very quiet for awhile, 

almost stopped.

then there was this surge

then things began to level out

then they began again.”

Yes, I thought.

That is just how tsunamis are.

There is this pause in the ocean's breathe,

for the gathering. 

Then the surge,

the leveling

the return.

Aside from my breathing,

the movement she described was also 

my own fractal ah ha

punctuated by the realization that she was talking about the 

financial tsunami 

the one that resulted from the up and down movement of the platelets.

I was not surprised.

Just refreshed

in that remembrance of connectivity.

Generating our own movements,

thinking they are separate from

our own life breath

in and out of the flow of all that is doing the same around and through us

supporting it, mirroring it,

reflecting different parts,

different dances of the same music

in and out

up and down

building

gathering

surging

leveling

returning

My Fractal Ah Ha

Was hugging me, holding that precious remembrance

The gratitude

The smile

The joy of being so great a part of so much so much greater.
