00:00:04.474 --> 00:00:07.862
Autumn Dances.

[speaks in foreign language]

00:00:33.620 --> 00:00:36.430
It's time for the ritual
to dance, to sing.

00:00:36.430 --> 00:00:38.250
So that rain may come so that

00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:41.080
the earth may be fixed one more time.

00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:42.710
Throughout the night and night

00:00:42.710 --> 00:00:44.780
too short for such important work.

00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:46.968
The people's energies converge.

00:00:46.968 --> 00:00:49.560
They call upon the night,

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.886
they call upon the stars in the darkness.

00:00:51.886 --> 00:00:54.500
They call upon the hot breezes.

00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:57.040
They call upon the heat
coming off the earth.

00:00:57.040 --> 00:00:59.390
They implore all animals.

00:00:59.390 --> 00:01:01.400
The ones that fly in the sky,

00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:03.560
the ones that crawl up on the earth.

00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.090
The ones that walk,

00:01:05.090 --> 00:01:07.010
the ones that swim in the water,

00:01:07.010 --> 00:01:08.530
and the ones that move in

00:01:08.530 --> 00:01:11.440
between water, sky, and earth.

00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:14.020
They implore them to
focus on the moisture,

00:01:14.020 --> 00:01:15.860
all are dependent.

00:01:15.860 --> 00:01:17.890
From the dark grinders of the desert,

00:01:17.890 --> 00:01:21.500
on that one night, the call
of the people is heard.

00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:24.670
It is heard by the
oceans, winds, and clouds.

00:01:24.670 --> 00:01:27.610
All respond sympathetically.

00:01:27.610 --> 00:01:29.040
Throughout the night you hear

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.560
the one who is assigned yelling.

00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.060

00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:34.964

00:01:36.427 --> 00:01:39.425

[speaks foreign language]

00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:47.454
There's still a little
bit of a night left.

00:01:47.454 --> 00:01:50.180
With the dawn we face the sunrise,

00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:52.950
we face it with all our humility.

00:01:52.950 --> 00:01:54.480
We are mere beings.

00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.420
All we can do is extend our
hands to the first light.

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:01.290
In our hands we capture the first light.

00:02:01.290 --> 00:02:03.320
We take it and cleanse ourselves.

00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:04.840
We touch her eyes with it.

00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.588
We touch our face with it.

00:02:06.588 --> 00:02:08.850
We touch our hair.

00:02:08.850 --> 00:02:10.630
We touch our limbs.

00:02:10.630 --> 00:02:12.340
We rub our hands together.

00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:15.270
We want to keep this light with us.

00:02:15.270 --> 00:02:17.960
We are complete with this light.

00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.533
This is the way we begin and end things.

00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:26.703
So that to me is what.
