every morning I wake up feeling like I have shrunken
collapsed inwards, imploded more

so lately I've been standing on my head
doing headstands

it's another way of seeing things
It's a different way of feeling myself, of holding myself, of supporting myself

being able to feel the direction "down" in my right leg only happened 2 years ago
nerve damage or frozen energy from complex PTSD or the effects of CSA?

standing on my head, I have to reach "up" into my feet
something about the increased body awareness
something about pushing the flesh envelope
something about feeling my spine/skeleton/structure

or maybe the blood rushing to my head?
lol

the scientist in me finds this fascinating & maybe relevant to this thread too!

So what's this have to do with basketball?

"alley oop" derives from French allez-oup, the cry of a circus acrobat about to leap.
