Subversive Dance

I hope we can help ourselves and each other become quieter, more leisurely, generous, grateful, graceful dancers of sound rhythm pattern voices of color to see and hear these quieter vibrations of wildness. Wildness wilderness relatively untouched forests of mountains and oceans, rivers lakes ponds swamps of wildness for quiet forms of song and Earth dance. Dance moving to louder voices of climate pathology and landscape erosion decomposition of home and safety, but also quieter dance of witness stalking visual prey we would not violate with unwanted harming touch, turning and swirling whorls of joy quiet yet also loud tornadoes hurricanes tsunamis whirling wildly loud. Loud dance thrashing climates of disarray for smaller subclimates within remaining wildness of species memory. Memory of meadow walks and naked tree climbing swinging dances with polyphonic gendered nature nurturing quieter wilderness teaching slowing leisurely dance through each day returning to healthy full moon wealth of wildness, ecodancing movement to sound and pause for silent graced lines of sight. Sights of quieter fragrance and pungent distant fear remembering mountain ocean water and air fire and Earth's Wildness dancing loud pathologies of Her majesty and awful wonder reminding me and us to respect our wise gratitude for quieter voices and movements of nature teaching grace as gratitude for wilderness within as wisely without you and I. I hope I can help grow quieter listeners of wildness songs sung together with dancing graceful pause, wish for wilderness witnessing partners, mutually stalking copresence within Earth's cooperative quiet majesty, ecodancing drums too anthro-discentering loud, yet sometimes refreshingly polypathic quieter journeys dancing softly hummed, paused within echoing forests of bounding binding wonder.
