"Now Voyager sail thou forth to seek and find" W.W.

I feel the season shifting. It happened today. Although I still have a healthy amount of time to restore and renew before the school dance begins...I feel the great wheel turning once again. O that I were able to be at the sweet community of cooks and fire dancers! I am on the sea witnessing super pods of atlantic Dolphin and Humpback whales in a mad dance of a scale I cannot describe. The fire dance images thrill me and I imagine playing with fire as a cleansing and renewing elemental dance.

I wish that Summer Seminar could contain some of these vital community building componants. We must gather and bring the fire dance to our people!

In the words of the author of one of my desert island books THE POETICS OF SPACE:

"Fire is more likely to smolder within the soul than beneath the ashes"

-Gaston Bachelard
