 I remember rising in spinning embers to smoky stars….contracting, expanding, striking out, whirling, growling in the heat,
Slithering in the fire,
Burning away to the essential element,
In flame fed by the wind,
supported by earth and stone,
driven by the thunder of drums,
built with sweat, sinew of muscle and the call of ancestral bones…
 I remember sunlight shattered across the water,
Wild photons shimmering, dancing,
Falling together, racing apart…
 I remember the Green Ones
whispering through the leaves,
a shiver, an ethereal song running through, embracing it all…
 I remember a newly transformed adult dragonfly,
emerging from earth at water’s edge, struggling to pull itself out of the mud,
to dry her delicate wings in the sun…
 I remember stories of life and death,
joy and sorrow,
victory and struggle,
love and grief…
 I remember FEELING vividly
this infinite web from within from without, tying us all together —
 Enshrined forever in the heart,
  in all song,
   In every dance,
   In every beat of the drum…
 Today I remember, but feel it in less than a whisper,
from behind the wall that separates this singular life
from the realm of our collective consciousness…
  If I still draw breath as we reach the end of this present circle around Sol,
I will fall together with all of you,
Into the all of THE ALL.
 The wall of illusion will fall,
and the remembrance will once’s again flourish into vivid feeling/knowing/BEING…
