Inside Out/Outside In

In this part of the world - North America
we are in that transition
between fall and winter

the rains have come
fires are getting made
tea is a daily life elixir

It is the natural time for "going in"
And yet we have been "in" so much
with COVID

My intent for this dance
is to honor this going in
and also
honor the community that is still there

It takes trust
sewing threads
of different kinds of connection
some seen and many unseen

Dancing the web of life within us
and receiving it from the "with out"
the human and non-human
world that is seemingly outside us
and yet the more we go in
there is possibility to remember something
about the interconnection
to all things

This can bring alive the community of things
inside us
Remembering its in our dna
of body and soul
