Something that is healing for the human being comes to light through this eurythmy. I need only remind you that we find that, as at the starting point of all human work, there is rhythm. It is not disorderly, chaotic work that has this rhythm, but rather: primitive work is carried out in rhythm. Of course, in our hurried modern times, in the age of industrialism, this has been completely lost. This rhythm is now being reintroduced through human movement games.
