From Japan, with Love: Bush Crickets at the Door

Entry #019:

2021 October 18

As I mentioned in my last entry, Autumn is the season of “savour”. And it really is my favorite way to appreciate the gifts of the season. But I’s like to take a moment to acknowledge what's been tickling my mind recently. And that is…my soul and body’s request for movement. It comes at a time when it’s also the Autumn of “Sport”. That said, it’s not “sport” per se. The Japanese word actually speaks to movement. “Un-do” is really more like “exercise”, rather than “sport”. And the direct translation of “un-do” is “moving luck”. So in Japan, moving your body: a brisk morning walk, a calming swim, a bicycle ride through your favorite park, ir not just exercise but moving, invigorating, reigniting luck. Stagnant energy isn’t lucky energy. And don’t we all want to lean into some more of that lucky energy. I’ve been called to do more headstands, slow jobs, stretches, and squats. In doing so, I’ve realized that it’s because I want to jazz up my luck quotient. It makes breathing and eating and loving so much more fun!
