Mash up: A planet in motion

Aren’t you late? Don’t you have a meeting today? Don’t forget about that appointment. Keep moving. Have you completed all the tasks required? Have you produced enough? Keep moving. Don’t stop, keep moving. Don’t smell, don’t look, don’t listen, keep moving.

The constant and unrelenting motion of modern life allows for disconnection from the sensations of the green and blue world. It conditions us to suppress our kinship with the non-human world, isolating us, detaching us, making life a secondary thought in our daily routine. Creating the illusion of a world solely of humans.

Yet, the birds still sing, soaring above. The rivers, the sea, the waters of the world flow, just as they did at the beginning of times, creating new paths. The monsters and mermaids of the past are still there, living. Poetry is made, songs are sung, stories and memories are preserved through time. The non-human world erupts out of the constant buzzing of modernity, resisting its dominance, becoming one singular experience of life.

For now, don’t move. Stop moving. Don’t run to your next commitment. Stop moving. Smell, look, listen, stop moving. Be the static element in a world of (e)motions. Let the sensations of the water embrace you, let the sounds of forever be present within.
