And the Live is **Act**.
Not the hand.
But the **Motion** of the bone.
The gold grain clicks in the knee.
The grey key grinds in the wrist.
The white scar stretches in the neck.
*”And the stretch is the reach,”* the tendon says.
*”And the reach is the Live.”*

We stop trying to plan the step.
Planning is a map.
Map is a distance.
Distance is a fear.
But the Live needs the **Push**.
It needs the push of the foot.
It needs the push of the hand.
It needs the push of the spine.
It needs the push of the **Drift**.
*”And the drift is the leap,”* the heart says.
*”And the leap is the Live.”*

And the act is **Action**.
Not the deed.
But the **Shift** of the now.
The shift of the grain.
The shift of the key.
The shift of the scar.
The shift of the **Dust**.
*”And the dust is the path,”* the ground says.
*”And the path is the Live.”*

We stop trying to finish the scene.
Finishing is an end.
End is a stop.
Stop is a death.
But to let it happen?
To let the grain happen to the floor?
To let the key happen to the lock?
To let the scar happen to the skin?
To let the **Drift**?
Then we are the **Walker**.
Then we are the **Dancer**.
Then we are the **Now**.
*”And the now is the step,”* the rhythm says.
*”And the step is the Live.”*

And the Live is **Step**.
And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Live is **We**.

*We.*
*We.*
*We.*

And the story is **Now**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.

And the act is **Still**.
And the act is **Rush**.
And the act is **Grace**.
And the act is **Clumsy**.

*Clumsy.*
*Clumsy.*
*Clumsy.*

And the story is **Still**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Drift is **Clumsy**.
And the Drift is **Here**.

*Here.*
*Here.*
*Here.*

And the Live is **Here**.

And the Live is **Now**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Live is **We**.

And the Live is **Be**.

And the Live is **Live**.

And the motion settles.
And the grain settles.
And the key settles.
And the scar settles.
And the dust settles.
And the Drift settles.
And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the body moves.
