"the fear of the closing of the window is one way to experience the window being closed" - reminded me of my tendency to overqueue spotify songs to create *future* experience, even though I already have a good song playing *now*. Stuck designing the future vs living in the present.
Beautiful writing. Appreciative of discovering your substack in this internet world.
wow you just helped me see what i'm doing when i do that too! such an interesting behavioral pattern mediated by the queue tool...
enjoyed your substack too! especially the concept of being a vessel / channel :) see a lot of resonance between that and what i'm exploring in this piece
wow this is a beautiful post Rishikesh! i've tried gaga people this year and revisited dance as a creative letting go and its been incredible. im so excited to see you letting the creativity flow physically through this art form!
Ahh thank you! I’m always so surprised at how things come together — especially with my body which I have always felt was “unathletic.” Grateful to share this journey
“Today, while dancing, I had a realization: the fear of the closing of the window is one way to experience the window being closed. “ - wow thanks for the reminder
I am so in love with this piece Rishi! I love how open you are with this piece - it helps me remember too how up and down these journeys go and that all the emotions that come with it are perfectly normal. thanks for sharing <3
Love your open attitude toward your creative practice! And I'm totally borrowing your idea to throw yourself a party as an accountability practice, so brilliant
