Delight is a sense of freedom that emerges from an appreciation of the richness of being alive.
Richard Rudd
Unspoiled and raw beauty of a place or a moment has a way of inspiring, capturing and wordlessly accompanying. No wonder the Centauric myths of the half human half animal are surrounding the Pillion Mountain. When the beauty permeates the air, bodying the mind and minding the body is a delight

The body as a whole is a sensory image of the soul
The body as a whole is a sense organ of the soul

Energy moves in waves
waves, move in patterns
patterns move in rhythms
humans beings are just that
energy
waves
patterns
rhythms
…a dance
