Russell, these clips made me cry for the first time since the election—a good thing. I’ve hardly taken a breath, but I’ve decided to dance through it all.
I’ve started dancing on TikTok, on Instagram, and at concerts—which I go to often. The feeling of appreciation for musicians creating an evening of joy moves me, and I move with it. At Tumbleroot and beyond, I dance a lot, in community, letting the music carry me.
Listening, dancing, sharing—that’s how I’m living my life right now.
«When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.» —Jacob A. Riis
Not really Jacob, just dance as if your life was a Sufi moment under the sun. & If you can, dance in the moonlight with the love of your life till every heartbeat pounds the earth beating to your feet. & Don't stop laughing as you move!
& Dance the fact that we've been an oligarchy since the 1913 Banker's Coup d'Etat & all oir media is censored, & madness permeates every crack & nook of modern life into oblivion; as if your bare feet pattern footprints around a primeval fire before language shattered Babel —dance as if your sanity depends on moving to a milonga, bachata or waltz, the internal & international language of the heart.
YEAH!!!!! Great words. And what beautiful clips. Our eyes need to bathe in this.
If we only lived when there was never darkness in the world, we’d never live.

An inspiration Kat :)
What you fail to realize or acknowledge purposefully IS many are dancing because they are
celebrating the election! Primarily ME!
Yes! Dance, dance, dance!
That is all we have, Russell. Thank you for the reminder.
