Let's Link Ourselves back Together and make a Reputation worth Living For

Matt Harding's wording in his poetry gave a vivid image in my head of what it was describing. The words had a flow to them, even though they didn't rhyme. The poem overall took time to figure out, yet at the same time was whole and made sense. The movie he made looked like the poem was written for it as a description, not a piece of poetry, or just a random movie. Movie and poem flowed together as does the river and its water, the bird and its wing, the tornado and its wind. The actual meaning behind movie and poem are interpreted differently by those who think differently. My point of view is that they are trying to show how Earth and all its habitants communicate. The poem is a little more general than the movie, because it describes not just humans but plants and elements of Earth too. It is probably trying to explain how we are all linked to each other, not just us humans, but us as in the whole Earth. The movie, however, describes the link between us humans, in dancing and humor. If you stand out in a crowd, you will lure people to you. In most of the first places the man in the video was alone, but as the movie came to an end, many people were joining him. This is a good way for people to come together. Another way is by relating what they know to what other people do- like dancing. Dancing is done all around the world, in many different ways and styles and costumes. But, altogether, dancing is the same, and people can link and communicate to each other using dancing. This is how the man in the video clip got people to come to him- they all related to what they knew and started dancing too- in their own style. Every person, rock, river, monkey, tree, flower, is unique and different, but at the same time everything is alike and linked to one another as well.




This picture shows different people in different clothes and different religions and different habitats with linked hands, around Earth. This is kind of a sign of peace and unity in the world. It also signifies how life in the relationship of living together on Earth could be a much simpler one. It could be as simple as holding hands and watching a moonlit, star-filled sky, and all of us helping to clean the messes we've made in the world.
