Look at how we just make structures to match what we’re feeling All the engineers are shocked to find out that in fact they are artists, sculptors, making hideous big confessional diary entry structures of their own neurosis all over the world Transparently showing everyone everything they thought was hidden in their deepest darkest mind I mean really just look at the brilliantly vulnerable installations known as huge concrete dams Blocking the intentions of the river Thwarting the fish in their pilgrimages Occasionally bursting forth in violent release, Ejaculating all over the empty valley Blocked up, dammed up, pent up, A drowned village silent beneath the surface of the feeder lake Life made silent by the swollen buildup of energy Its displaced residents know that an evil spirit now lives in the valley. Controlling what gets through with elaborate gates and locks Shouted commands and technical drawings Vulnerable to a breach A scar on the landscape So modern, such improvements Filling, filling, filling with more and more of the unexpressed Venting in violently controlled outbursts Letting off pressure Pranas exploding out of the body Confident he’s got it all under control. Could anything communicate more clearly what the essential life feeling is? The perfectly honest expression takes my breath away. The dam never stopped the river... the river finds a way... but it longs to flow freely... Imagine the technologies created by peoples not living in a cramped state of repression, imagine a culture that did not write its own emotional trauma large upon the landscape... imagine all the people, filled with sparkling joy in their own flow, moderated, celebrated, venerated, preserved, obeyed... what they would make... Like these river spirits, feeding on the wildness of the river’s own freedom. One day soon we will welcome you back to these wild places. 🌊♥️ #heartofyoga #riverspirits #respecttheriver #awa #wairua #taveuni #dambusters #themonkeywrenchgang #gowiththeactualflow #papatūānuku #pachamama #arundhatiroy #damnthedam (at Taveuni Bouma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHr-LUUjgUA/?igshid=14wpz6u9q95k0
