(24,324 posts)Glad to see another LOOOng post from you...
Everybody else has said everything I could say... and have said
(Cy Twombley -remember?) YOU got me back into art.
Anyhow, for what it is worth, the English in your posts here is absolutely perfect!
Maybe it is difficult for you to write it that well. I don't know but...that says something BIG.
Question--
Can you, just sitting in a chair for example, eyes closed, imagine driving to the grocery store, every physical motion you make---- starting with getting your keys, walking out the door, getting in your car, starting it, pulling away, turning the wheel, brake at the stop sign, looking left and right, left turn, whatever, etc etc.. until you reach the store and then parking.
OR perhaps the same exercise to a simpler destination.. like-- around the block?
Did you ever hear the term 'kinesthetic imagination?' Keeping it simple, it is part of the FELDENKRAIS practice of re-training the connections between the brain and the body--- something like that.
Maybe this doesn't apply to your situation. and I am just off base, I don't know. BUT, it has helped me with certain things, mostly reorganizing the neurological connections between my brain and my left hand. And it helped Itzhak Perlman when he was a child in Israel with polio.
So I started wondering.....just maybe......
All the best, as always...
