Sitting down at my computer, still, silent, stress fuelled
library, allocated writing time ticking by and trying to write a reflective
essay about my accommodation of knowledge in terms of the lived experience. I
seem to be struggling with continuous contradictions in my writing as well as
what seems to be a slight juxtaposition between my current situation and subject
matter. I’m experiencing perpetual problems trying write using language that
represents the standpoint I claim to take. Learning and thinking in any form I
understand to be processes that involve whole body consciousness so, of what is
this ‘mind’ or these ‘thoughts’ or the
many other better examples I can’t think of right now but keep referring to in
my writing? Whilst I see natural changes
in terms of my dance practice and the ways in which I communicate newly
acquired knowledge in my teaching, it seems to be much more difficult to
express in my writing, particularly when being reflective. Perpetual text
deletion has led to a sense of exasperation so I thought maybe sharing might
help. Does this even make sense? Anyone
else sometimes struggle to find the right words?
