the past as we know it is coming to an end.
We are all, almost afraid of nostalgia and we have been told all our lives not to trust it; which in a way, is once again, being told not to trust our own bodies and the many expressions of that body, living through the thresholds of time and tide as it does. This was my attempt to rehabilitate not only the word, but the felt experience. Nostalgia fully felt always flowers into something merciful, forgiveness for a former partner, heart felt gratitude for having had the gift of a good father, forgiveness for a difficult one. The difficulty lies in allowing ourselves to fully experience the absolute physicality of what is emerging. Nostalgia is imminent revelation arriving from deep below our horizon of understanding, from the center of the body, rather than from the heavens above. DW
