The movement of the waves, of winds, of the earth is ever in the same lasting harmony. we do not stand on the beach and inquire of the ocean what was its movement of the past and what will be its movement of the future. we realize that the movement peculiar to its nature is eternal to its nature. the dancer of the future will be one whose body and soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of that soul will have become the movement of the body.

The other reason why people don't take a stand, which is very true in this election, is looking at [donald] trump and fearing reprisal, fearing reprisal from someone who is seeking the highest, most powerful role in the land, who has had a history of doing everything from attacks, threats and lawsuits and who has a complete kind of vengeful, narcissistic behavior, which makes people legitimately worried, almost like a schoolyard bully, that if i step up, am i going to be targeted, too?
