Re - the 'tread' thread:
in Madagascar, lying at the sea's edge very early one morning
i heard, for the first time clearly and with such distinction,
someone walking on the red clay paths from a distance of about
ten minutes before they arrived. That is, from at least a half
a kilometre away of continuous walking i heard their vibration
approaching. The sound that one's body makes, the kind of vibr
ation it creates on the ground when walking or dancing, are in
corporated into a description of person. This person walks hard
or walks soft or walks sweet or walks heavy. They are not meant
as anything other than attributions of fact.
Bearing such sensitivities in mind
then such vibrations also pass
back into the body walking and resonate.
There is dialogue, the experience breathes.
This experience will be as familiar to any
one here who has played a hand drum for
a length of time sufficient for the heat
built between skin of drum and palm of hand
flips perception as t whether one is
playing the drum or the drum playing one.
Again i would offer up Bourdieu's 'habitus'
as residues of such dialogue in voice and
thereby into syntax and vocabulary. 'Bodymind'
breaks beyond Cartesian binary. It's not, and
never can be, a returning. It's a move forwards,
sure, invested with hope - but necessary.
That doing is what makes a difference tangible.
Thanks for the full body orgasm Randolph.
love and love
