Endless, Near

Endless, Near

Endless, Near is a journey through the dense weave of a world’s relentless pulse, where external drive meets the intricate terrain of inner life. It is grounded in the belief that the living embodied body is a vital, generative force—not only a vessel of self but a reflection of the cosmic rhythms that govern the orbits, the pull of gravity, the ebb and flow of tides. The movement unfolds as a collision of forces: patience entwined with resilience, catharsis borne of stillness—where each gesture becomes a flicker of recognition between the self and the world it reflects, and between each of us and the forces that bind us all.

“I consider where to look, with days draped, coated in smoke and shadow. I look around for what we reach towards, collectively. Alone.
Where longing burns, a flame.
And, how does it happen again, the elusive terrain that multiplies solitude in this wide world?
The knots of a heart-valve that open and close with stillness.
Perhaps there, we are still moving, sweeping through our gravity.
With one step, a ripple moves outward, unknowing and vast.
And with one dance, a giving and hopeful toss to the endless cosmic threads that reach beyond what is near.”
