“It took me a long time of deciphering to realize that the amniotic, the oceanic, is the movement of love.
Not emotional love but an encompassing atmosphere of love.
A love that has its own destiny – perhaps using humans as its messengers, this love is trying to land on earth.
Water is the substance for all life forms on this earth.
Love is the substance in which all life form is expressed.
Oceanic memories continue among all humans who have landed. The pulsing waves of ancestral amphibians is recorded in every undulation of an organ, in every sweep of tissue, in every course of blood.
What we call ‘body’ is not ‘matter’ but movement. The body is a profound orchestration of many qualities and textures of movement, interpenetrating tones of fertile play, waiting to be incubated. The cosmic play that we enter this atmosphere with still goes on at an intrinsic level – we are mostly not aware of the world we carry.”
– Emilie Conrad Da’oud, founder of Continuum Movement
