A Response in film:
Be-longing,
Unwind Desire:
Prayer Place -
A creature touching down
Here.
Undress
Diverse bodies
Vibrating
Waiting to be held
Here.
Where do we sit firmly in the world?
A million suns
Turning
Flowing Rivers
Rooted
Here.
Pulled into
Being a place
Protecting the Dreamers
Here.

Permission to take space -
Be it – occupy - reach into it – have it (own it?? Problematic!)
