Fire is within us all; aglow in the veins of the field, beating rhythms in the body, celestial sparks as thought form. Whorling rotations within us.
Bodies are brought to the sun and within this language, an amalgam of flame movements creates a furnace of solidarity. Many suns all interconnected, a locus of illumination.
THE CIRCULATION OF ANIMALS IS THE EPOCH FIRE weaves twenty seven gestures from a constellation of interbeings. Here is a dance that holds the unity of opposites and shines light on the polarity cycles. We are a network of living heat; an intersection where the etheric flickers through muscle, the heart heats the wave, and the sound pulse forms the visions. The fire of the sacred plant is here, the frequencies of the meteors and the extra-dimensionals, the fire of our rage and joy, a call to prayer is within this fire.
