More Thresholds

Z was happy to play me and my shadow as she explored the arena with the new frame for the forthcoming mirrors in place. Also, for about 30 minutes gladly gave me her right eye. Then, urrrrr, put the brakes on, became tense, and almost catatonic. Feet were stuck, multiple thresholds, ears back. Took the time, held when necessary, did not urge feet (ie., game of contact), released quickly, sent back as many steps as necessary to get ears up again. Monitored my energy, and at one point closed my eyes and imagined her BEING with me, and bingo her ears came up toward me - how cool is that! But still came and went. There were lots and lots of releases though, between thresholds, so I was doing something right. Then, almost as suddenly as all this started, her ears were up and her right eye seemed to suddenly be really looking at me, or seeing me. Happy to follow me, and come to me. Then hesitant again, then resumed being happy. How so very interesting. Clearly I am the cause of much ambivalence. But  a harmonious end to our playtime.
