I did not go to Dialogue today- I feared that

I would have reacted to the trauma in others-

As my own “upset” was kicking up dust.

Time to stay home with the dog at my feet….

And allow the pain to be felt,

Just resting in the experience

Not running off into busyness

I have thought of the ghost dancers

Turning toward, dance, song and spirit.

Now it’s my turn to call upon ghosts

Stomping my feet – finding center

My place on the earth.
