A tree falls in the forest and I am/ there to make sure no one hears it./ Beloved: It's not that I am/ unwilling to be seized by sound, / everyday I am undone by it.
Khando Langri

They have interpreted this in many ways: movement as communication and connection, mobility, and stillness, being moved emotionally, movement within and after Lockdown, freedom of movement, and being part of a political movement, and even getting lost!
