Miracle of Movement

As soon as we get out of bed in the morning, we stand we walk, we use the hands the wrist the fingers, elbows, knees the ankle, all of the joints. To move. The anatomy of the nervous system of the human body talks of the spinal cord supporting the main trunk line of the nervous system carrying the various electro-chemical impulses. The nervous system, interlink with the myriad muscles and the bones. The heart muscles controlled by the nerves and the heart in turn nourishes the nerves using blood. All interlinked all connected, the individual, the in-divisible, the human body. 


Socially too the movement in the voice box, tongue and the facial muscle convey images between any two human bodies and the perception of this image determines the action of those bodies. If the perception is that of a threat then the bodies look for security either by fleeing or fighting the action determined by what the human body has learnt effectively. If the perception is that of joy then there is laughter, dancing and the bodies in merriment. The walking body, running body, the dancing body, the acting body, the fighting body bodies in action one way or the other. Based on the perception that in turn depends on the movement of images from one body to the other. That in turn depends on what the bodies are doing at the moment the movement occurs. The bodies too indivisible part of this one giant movement.


Flight of a bird, galloping horse, cheetah's sprint, the turtle's relaxed pace, movements.  Sports men, the dancers and martial artists around the world are students-learning, looking and understanding movement. So are the poets. painters, thinkers-students of the movement of ideas, emotions, perceptions. Lovers, students of each other- caught in a passionate dance of emotions and of the body. Movements. 


We all see this movement some part of it, some claim that they see the whole of it, some don't and some don't know what to make out of it.
