Moving Blood and "Obedience" 0
Oct 11, 2018

Episode 101—Autumn 2018

Moving blood. This is the clinical definition of life as we know it—a beating
heart, circulating oxygen rich blood through the body. It is also the
evolutionary end game. Reproduction. Moving our bloodline forward. And a
metaphor for inheritance. These themes converge in this season's episode. Host
Jennifer Ellsworth interviews dancer Shana Bloomstein, founder of Women's Works,
about a piece she created with her daughter. And we read a short story about a
gift passed down, called “Obedience.”

"...Obedience was only 12 years old, yet it had aged well, already taking on the
gnarled bark of a much older specimen. A middle-aged bonsai achievement in a
short span. This was why Jacob’s father won prizes. He aged his plants well..."

Essential form in bonsai and life and holding our babies again.

Gorgeous spring has sprung and with it competing interests. Host Jennifer
Ellsworth tells the history of the Gemini constellation, and shares the lessons

walks across my floors picking up my broken pieces. When he has gathered them
all up, we try to put me back together while he tells me stories. Amen tells the
best stories..."

Mexico...."
