toadhood explores dreaming and being as a matter of orienting oneself differently in the world. In letting go of consciousness, verticality, and visibility, I open up to the ground and expanded feeling - the tickling grass, birdsong, the pocket dimension of a blanket. To still and flail in sleep is to share with the land in remembering and imagining what I could be otherwise.
