Guest guest Posted July 11, 1999 Report Share Posted July 11, 1999 Melody - I enjoy your images. If the moon is reflecting the sun to itself, each are doing what they are meant to do and are one... For me, the dance is like a light mist moving over the water. The water realizes it actually is touching and becoming the mist. The water tries to hold on to its former self-contained reality, but this matters less and less. The water has its place in the scheme of things but learns it has never been self-contained. It's the movement of the mist -- at first seeming relatively unreal that gets more and more real... everything begins to reverse -- the water is there for the sake of the mist :-) and then, the water becomes another aspect of the mist -- then, there is only the mist It is solitary only in the sense of no self or other... to me, it can't be considered "alone" as humans mean this term... because what does "alone" mean when there never has nor will be another? So our words become mist... moving and circulating neither for the sake of self or other...
