Philosophy

 

For all of us, movement is the great link between ourselves and every other form of life. Natural elements, plants, animals and human beings, move in a ceaseless process of change, but each according to its own nature.

Gravity is the force which pulls everything towards the centre of the earth. In order to move, this force must be overcome by energy, and so in all orders of life we see a rhythmic cycle of waxing and waning energies. In all natural forms of life, deviations and disturbance may occur, but the underlying rhythmic harmony continues from day to day and from season to season.
