Dancer
over there, where the marvellousness is, even art
can not make sense.
right here, where people create life with lines of
straining, even art can not make sense. there is only H•M (*)

To see the mavellousness, one has to pass over the art
to pass through the art, one has to know art
to know art one has to know love
to know love one needs the senses
the senses are from all the cells together
even from things that are smaller than the cell
even smaller and smaller
smaller to the end of minimum
to the infinite

all the extremely small things are joined together to be
bigger
bigger and bigger
and big as the cell
and still join together to be bigger
bigger and big as man
even still to be bigger
big to the end and to the endless

Each cell of the dancer is in a certain order of the structure of dance. Each line of tendon and sinews in the body of the dancer are pulsating, harmony and feeling move tenderly with every sense and emotion. The dance is an art work. The dance is what transmigrates life to the mavelousness out there.
If one of cell or anything smaller than the cell is harmed then pain appears, strain, confusion, sorrow, repression, anger, fatigue all stagnate. All this emotion will be poisoning. an extremely small cell and more cells will be harmed. One harm makes many other harms. Man is truly harmful. Man has been making a lot of strain for a long time, has become heavy and now is not able to dance.
over there, is where the mavelousness is, but right here, the strain is. There is such a thin border between we are not able to get through. How the stumpy can not be floating, how the standoffish can not be touched, how the dry can not pulsate well, being not really strong nor really smooth!
nothing can describe the situation right here, just a word that is "H•M" ("DAM"or "STAGNANT"or stuck) but what happened before DAM? there was a small injured cell, there was a very little wound.
Dear dancer, let dance until my being is in the mavellousness.
