Farewell

We never want to let go of them, those we love. How could it be any different than that?  We loved them, hold them still ...

Called into the dance

I am called into the dance, and in order to follow I must let go of all I’m holding.
I bring my gifts, but in order to dance the steps, to follow the beat, the love, the sound, the pulse I must be grounded, must breathe, must stand free.
I place my shopping bags, my piles of books, my eternal list of things to do at the door of your garden.

I step into space.

I sense the freedom waiting to unfold into unencumbered places where I will discover new beats, new moves, new people.
I dance my sadness, I dance my joy. I play my confusion, I tear away what’s stale.
I long for running water, I twirl until I fall

and I find you at the centre, turning all in all. (27 January 2013)
