Tango – Ecstatic Flight Through the Senses

Picture artist unknown Preparing to dance, I stretch out my sense-antennas. I scan the distance by listening through my body. I smell, I observe and finally notice. Upon gestural agreement, gently, I touch my partner. We get closer and closer. We drop into the meeting of our skins - the periphery at which we affirm our separation, as well as begin to flow into and through one another. And, as we softly spread along this permeable boundary, our breathing, now via the skin pores, begins to expand and relax too. At that moment, I begin to feel a pull towards the darkness of the inner caves and caverns of our bodies – the deeper intimacy. I turn to the inner eye, the senses that ' see' in the dark. And within this realm of imagination, but also simply bodily knowing, I begin to track, not only shapes, but also the core impulses of our movement. I continue to sense, although that sense has now become a full-bodied feeling. I half or even fu...

Love is..

After quite a few years, I am back to the blog! This time round, I am going to offer some of my writing.

Internationalize the Amazonia? Brazil’s Amazon basin, some 360 million hectares cleaved by the world’s largest river, the Amazon, whose 80,000 kilometers in length is equal to the distance between New York and Berlin, holds the planet’s greatest biodiversity reserve. This unique, complex, exceptional ecosystem is a colossal Patrimony of Humanity. Should it be internationalized? Below is an insightful response from the Brazilian Minister of Education, Cristovão (Chico) Buarque, better known as a poet, composer and musician. In a visit to an US university, Chico Buarque was asked by a young US ecologist about the possibility of ‘internationalising’ the Amazonia. His response highlights the complexity of the issue, the powers in play, the threatened sovereignty of nations and the double standards applied when deciding on these issues. It also reveals a humanist approach, honesty and wisdom of a government minister such as Chico Buarque. “From a humanist perspective...” “As a Brazil...
