We need parties. The conversation falters. Voices strike; strikes break; the right to demonstrate is curtailed. What else is left for us, but to dance? For centuries, communities have formed around beats and pulses.
Can we lose ourselves and find each other? Can we flirt with the moss, fuss with tree lilies? A fledgling tradition shoots up like beach grass, salute the centuries that come after you. NAU is an over-the-hill party of our civilisation. This is not yet the end, but from here you can see it. Let's dance. And in such a way that the foresters get something out of it too.
