In 1995 as I experienced Susan Harper moving and whispering become the wind, embody the wind …. I was moved into Continuum’s call.

“Do you think the body has a dream for itself beyond the one that you’ve contrived, Penny?” Emilie Conrad inquired of me, with her fierce curiosity and intense dedication to breaking spells. The rapture of Continuum informs every aspect of my being, always inviting me to engage in the fluid field of befriending and bringing more of my soul forward into embodied engagement with the world and life.

“What is Continuum to you?” Emilie asked me many years ago.

Hmmm – “When you point at your palm and say this is Continuum, closing your fingers into even a slightly tighter hold. Continuum is what spreads and slushes, squeezes, slides and slips through the space between your fingers,” I answered.

Continuum cannot be described, however can be experienced – this is its delicious call.
