The Dance by Wendell Berry

Production, Composition and Sound Design by Kevin Seaman The Dance by Wendell Berry I would have each couple turn,join and unjoin, be lostin the greater turningof other couples, wovenin the circle of a dance,the song of long time flowing over them, so they may return,turn again in to themselvesout of desire greater than their own,belonging to all, to each,to the dance, and to the songthat moves them through the night. What is fidelity? To whatdoes it hold? The pointof departure, or the turning roadthat is departure and absenceand the way home? What we areand what we were once are far estranged. For thosewho would not change, timeis infidelity. But we are marrieduntil death, and are betrothedto change. By silence, so,I learn my song. I earn my sunny fields by absence, onceand to come. And I love youas I love the dance that brings youout of the multitudein which you come and go.Love changes, and in change is true.
