The beginning

As I'm about to start this blog, Islands In A Black Sky by Bruce Cockburn is playing, and I feel the beginning.

The beginning in discovering the world through the eye of water movement in agriculture; the study of how water moves in my life, in my body, into atmospheres of far away lands and neighboring streams.

I have set obectives and requirements for myself, my advisor and the university I'm attending, as part of this project process. The course is Special Topics AGRI-482 (3 credits), and i've renamed it Water Mouvements in Agriculture.

I'm setting sails to gain broader understanding of the physical and chemical properties of water, it's cycle through the environment (soil, plants, animals and humans, atmosphere). The objective is also to grasp the political ties of agricultural water use around the world. A third goal is simply setting. I've decided to challenge myself into choreographing a 30 minute performance geared towards the general public, synthesizing the notions of water movements in agriculture. Part of my drive comes from my love of the art of dance and my caring concern of the natural world.

It's a beginning...
