Beautiful. I listened to this eyes closed laying down. Waking up to Pentecost Sunday. It sounds like a benediction, a morning blessing, a good night's hug, an invitation. The book will be a blessing and I can see this being danced by many children, young and old alike!

A reading from your heart…I can hear it! “The Dance needs you.” Mmmm-mmmm, sweet invitation, thank you. Truth spoken. And yes, children old and young dancing this together!

Beautiful poem and deep wisdom, She Who Dances With Words! It’s delightful to hear that Marla and Ruth are dancing with you as you birth another book!

You wrote this? Gorgeous. I loved dancing to it and will take to groups next week and do more. You've read ¨Braiding Sweetgrass"? She's your sister. Read if you haven't. Thank you for this, Cynthia
