Extract

Emptiness looks like an absence of something. No, it is not. It is a presence of something infinite.

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

The same materials I use dancing are used in my life. The same rules apply to dancing that apply to my life. Everything said about dancing is a reflection of myself. The dance is any moment when I am clearly in the act of doing just what I am doing.

The performances usually begin for us in setting up the space on the previous night. The process is similar each time. We both approach it as a kind of ritual.
