movement in LIQUID

Ha! This is a wonderful sign! And it is used in the dance world all  
the time now, and the exercise world too...I have seen that in several  
exercise routines etc...

And it involves a General Arrowhead, since the wave is on one  
"overlapping" path...it is not a circle ...it is a wave like the  
ocean...and since the hands are contacting and obviously moving  
together it would definitely be a general arrowhead...

And Charles wrote "trembling" motion (thank you, Charles!) which is  
actually a quite different motion than what I see on the video...I see  
a big wave motion that is on an "overlapping" wavy path where the arms  
and hands have become like "one"...

I will write my version of it next message. I will post it in about an  
hour or so...

Thanks for the great question, Cherie! And thanks for attaching the  
video...that is sooo helpful...

Val ;-)
