Today with Hana, Haruka and Natsumi, Haruka shared with us moments, stories and little extracts from her journey to Nagashima Island. We also spoke about what we should call our presentation at Desilo. Whilst Haruka was on her trip she sent us a whatsapp to say she had been messaging with the mountain. I thought that this was so lovely and even a week or more later I am still thinking about it and repeating the same few words in my head.
I imagine it as though we are different creatures, someone is a bird, someone is an insect or a mouse, someone is a bear, someone is a dolphin, we all communicate differently, we all see the world from a different environment and perspective, and yet together we are all tapping into another channel of communication, another plane, that is not easily found. But when it is found it opens up to something magical and resonant, it isn’t hindered by ability to speak a language or location or even belonging to the same species. Instead we can connect deep into the ground in to the soil and water that feeds us and forms our roots. The energy source that we all share is what allows us to emerge into this new plane and communicate with feeling.
Together we came up with the title:
Dream to touch to see to know .ೃ࿐
