a time for everything

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

What can i say. This friday was one of the strangest days in a very long time. A day of heat, accidents, irritation and up and down emotions. This saturday by contrast was a relief - a day of beauty.

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? --Blake

writing and being written

we are part of a destiny, a bigger whole, of cycles(which perhaps we call time). But we also create the story. our lives are co-creations of stories. becoming and being, space and time, past and now.

The man who sees [the primordial and natural] elements as functional parts of a cosmic whole, harmonized by outwardly complex, yet inherebtly simple laws of "functional coherency", overcomes fear. -- Dane Rudhyar (the astrologoy of personality p.67)

just now

Santiago comes for a visit and the moon is beautiful tonight starring close to jupiter in the almost summer sky.

up early

really extra-ordinary night. i can only remember the last one but it feels like my sleep overfowed with unusual dreams this night.
