e147 worlding - what worlding stories do you hear ?

i learned about the concept of ‘worlding’ from Vanessa Andreotti’s Hospicing Modernity and I danced in the rain TRANSCRIPTION OF EPISODE (bell and breath) (raindrops from https://simplesoundscapes.ca/e105-thunder/) I learned about the concept of ‘worlding’ from page 184 of Vanessa Andreotti’s Hospicing Modernity. Andreotti explains that : Worlding stories are not focused on the aesthetic perfection of form but rather on the integration of form and movement. Now this integration of form and movement made me think of that magical period when rain begins to fall and dryness is transformed into wetness is quite magical. Listen carefully.  Andreotti goes on to say that : Worlding stories are not supposed to be ‘thought about’ but rather thought, felt, and danced with and through… Andreotti goes on further to explain that : They play with the ambivalence and dynamic force of meaning. In this sense, meaning will change as a worlding story lands deeper into the body, a story will have many layers of changing meaning, and some layers will only reveal themselves years after the story arrives.  Worlding stories invite us to experiment with a different relationship between language and reality. The stories do not require anyone to believe in anything; rather they invite you to believe with them.  The stories do not require anyone to believe in anything; rather they invite you to believe with them.  What worlding stories do you hear ?  * The rain and thunder sounds in this episode are from https://simplesoundscapes.ca/e105-thunder/ recorded during the summer of 2018 in Duhamel, Québec.  I am grateful and accountable to the earth and the human labour that provided me with the privilege of producing this episode.
