The Skydance Imperative for Boogie Mechanics, 2

[patworks 5]

Quote

"I was blazing one day
in the energy of change
When an agent from Chaos
came swooping by
"The answer," he mused, "is
Boogie Mechanics."
"The Skydance Approach to Boogie Mechanics.
But what was the question?"
And he was gone in the night.
One day a long time ago.

. Once upon a when.
Long ago at the Valley of Pope,
. keepers of dance in the sky mind-melded, Spocking,
whilst sharing magic that open doors.
. A Chaos agent, my part is to provide the solution
that echoed sky spirits and wind song…
. And, then, 'pow' the Skr question was sky-clear.
. Skr spoke, "So, what sounds the skydance resonance and its clarion bell? ... what answers the call?"
. And enchanted too, I posit, “… Boogie Mechanics.”
.... "The Skydance Approach to Boogie Mechanics.

. And even now,
. that bell tolls still for me in thy dreams.
. Yes. Now evermore than everbefore.
Hear!
Dream. Dream and dance.
. Sing out.
Hear the echo.
. Know echo-reflected matches your own.
And is your own.
. So, Spread your wings!
Self-won, Share.
. Fly. Fly. Fly for joy.
Then show it; tell it, too.
. Spread the words
. With smiles and soft clouds
. Reflecting in our eyes.

Yes, me too, although it's mostly dreams now.

My rig is in date, but my checkbook is missing
some zeroes at the end of the numbers.

I know.

I just wish we could have somehow conveyed
it to more people.

Thanks, Howard.

You know, the context of that was that most people
were focused on the concreteness and measurability
of hookups, and I kept thinking that all the good stuff
is in the flying around between the hookups.

The hookups are just something to do while we're
skydiving together.

It's the flying around and the shared human experience.

So in order to make that explicit I started designing dives
firstly out of moves (analogous to dance moves), and
secondly out of vibes and mood.

What emotional feelings are we trying to engender
on this dive? The hot dive feeling? The sunset loose
load feeling? The helping newcomers feeling? The
stately waltz feeling? The rowdy polka feeling?
And so on.

Some people obviously understood that point of view
or we wouldn't be in this thread, but for some reason
it never went mainstream.

It's hard to believe that it's been 30 years since that
was in Parachutist.

And Robin almost got fired for putting it in there
because "Parachutist doesn't do poetry." :-) :-)

There was one typo in the Parachutist version in
the third line up from the bottom.

"How do you create the consciousness *for* the Skydance dives?"

It was not to create the consciousness *of* in an
advertising sense, but consciousness *for* in the
sense of giving rise to this kind of skydiving in the
first place.

And Pat was right when he spoke of the the skydance
resonance.

Since it was more of a viewpoint than a concrete
form it was hard to convey to people, so I thought
maybe if I start a "team" of people who see it and
we all think those thoughts really hard at the same
time we can get some kind of 100th monkey effect.

It was called the "Skydance Resonance" and started
with 11 people, but it only lasted a week or two because
those people were all creative, independent people who
wanted to go off and invent their own stuff.

And eventually time moved on, people got killed,
Pope Valley closed, and now it's pretty much old
leaves blowing in the wind.

Or maybe not, after all we are in this thread.

Maybe it's just me that has moved on.
