Written with Sharon on a big open porch:<\/p>\n
I hear some machine grinding away.\u00a0 <\/span>There\u2019s blue sky with clouds, sun sometimes.<\/p>\n I\u2019m alone too much.\u00a0 <\/span>It started with COVID, but it doesn\u2019t seem to end.\u00a0 <\/span>I don\u2019t know what to do about it.\u00a0 <\/span>I don\u2019t know why it\u2019s so hard for me to make friends.\u00a0 <\/span>I guess I feel scared a lot, that\u2019s again from being alone too much, but it certainly makes it hard to do anything different.<\/p>\n I\u2019m hoping that having a writing group will help. But now I\u2019m worried about what I\u2019m going to write about.\u00a0 <\/span>The story of folk dance \u2014 sacred circle dance \u2014 Neskaya.\u00a0 <\/span>Certainly creating Neskaya was the best thing I\u2019ve ever done.\u00a0 <\/span>Actually it\u2019s clear that \u201cI\u201d didn\u2019t do it, I was the midwife who brought something through from the imaginal realm that was just waiting to be incarnated.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n The grinding noise has stopped.\u00a0 <\/span>I suspect it was a mower, cutting the grass in a different area than the one right in front of me.\u00a0 <\/span>It would be intolerably loud if it were right here.<\/p>\n The sun is out, a maple with some orange leaves already is blazing in the sunlight.\u00a0 <\/span>White cloud, blue sky \u2014 it\u2019s almost too much.\u00a0 <\/span>The sun goes under, the colors fade. The freshness of the air is pleasant as is the slight breeze that brings it in.<\/p>\n Thinking about Neskaya and sacred dance lifts my spirits.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s been a very long time since I danced in a circle holding hands and I really miss it.\u00a0 <\/span>What dances would I like to do?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Kos, Turning Toward the Morning, Winds on the Tor, Miserlou.\u00a0 Lore \u2014 another dance I\u2019d like to do. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Written with Sharon on a big open porch: I hear some machine grinding away.\u00a0 There\u2019s blue sky with clouds, sun sometimes.
