May the calm be widespread
May the ocean glisten as greenstone
May the shimmer of light
Ever dance across your pathway
The Whale Rider, Witi Ihimaera
To reach for love
is to change the shape of the arm
To look on beauty
is to alter the eyes
Prayer sanctifies the lips
Song liberates the throat
Dance fills the bones with light
Love makes of the heart
an Open Hand.
Natascha Bruckner
"Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It’s the rhythm of your life. It’s the expression in time and movement, in happiness, joy, sadness and envy."
Jaques D’Amboise
