Let your feet beat a healing rhythm into the earth.

Let your feet beat a strengthening rhythm for those who struggle the hardest.

Let your feet beat a life-giving rhythm for all peoples, regardless of race or national boundary, regardless of whether we’re human or whether we’re the trees, the air, the fish, the birds--

We come out of hiding, we come back from the dead, and we dance, and our dance is a prayer, and our songs and our rhythms and our breath give life"

- Dee Smith
