“To everything there is a season…a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to reap that which has been planted” – Ecclesiastes 3:2, The Bible
“Of what is the body made? It is made of emptiness and rhythm. At the heart of the world there is no solidity, there is only dance…” – George Leonard

– George Leonard
