I will dance in the dark<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how it starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dark and the depth and the breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will dance from my spark spiralling out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remembering the sun once again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I dream a new world in my dance placing my heart in every stamp of my foot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rest and a sip with Good Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll tell stories Old and New.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stories of how the world came to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then taking a breath we return again to dance every step of the stories out into the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill of her breast, where the great Caliech Rests. The Dark Woods of the Holly King. The stream where they Met and blessed the land with a Queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as the Dance Wanes we\u2019ll remember their names as in deepening reverence we Greet the first dawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Dawn Filled with promise and hope of days that are long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before joyously singing our Praise of the beginning, the Sun as the Blessing of Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So of course I will Dance from above and below in bodies that move fast and slow because it\u2019s my heart Dancing it\u2019s Part in igniting the world into being. Across Grass, Pebble, Sand and Snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessed Yule, Joyous Solstice and Merry Mirth Making at the Dawning of this New Light. May your hearth be warm and bellies full until the green ones greet us again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
