Lovely post thank you. Just a anatomical point however / the spine does not bear the weight of the body - our body is a 'tensegrity network of myofascia' within the bones act as the 'spacers' within this network - allowing the myofascia to be a supportive elastic system which spreads forces evenly throughout the body. Think Buckminster Fuller.
Thanks so much, Helen, I appreciate your thoughtful comment. You’re absolutely right about the body’s tensegrity and the brilliance of Buckminster Fuller’s view. In this piece, I was using the spine more as a symbolic axis, and I aldo genuinely feel my back and posture strengthening as I walk. It helps me align, not just physically, but into a deeper sense of right relationship with the world. Grateful for your insight!
