The Waltz of the Crickets
The cricket who played for joy
The cricket who played for joy
While the other crickets sang to be heard, he simply played.
He wasn’t trying to attract anyone or achieve anything —he just let the music flow.
“The Waltz of the Crickets” is a fable about art as pure expression:
a way of being in the world with no goal other than to exist.
A quiet, nighttime dance that asks for nothing —and yet, changes everything.
