Yeah, I'm in that "this all feels mundane" lull again. Pushing through the heat is part of the work. Why is it that sometimes, showing up doesn't feel like enough? Sometimes I think the concentration of these dances in certain areas detracts from their validity. Why do I think in those terms? My parameters do not stipulate specifics about the distance between sites. What does complaining about the heat do for me? Cicadas buzz all around. What does validity mean in context of this project? What am I validating with this practice. Sometimes and only in the past few weeks, I've wondered where my last site of the year will be. I also envision other durational/daily practices to use as a means for continuing the momentum this project has generated. Where will I be in a year? If I had tried to guess last year, I'd likely have been wrong. Day two hundred thirty-eight.
