Gypsie Dance

One sister — Many stories

Fire in her belly, flames beguile in her stance

— temptress free spirit —

Passion fans with sister, identity her trance.

Nature Story

As we connect with the beauty in each other’s story, we become open to the spirit of beauty within and around.

May the sacred fire in each of our bellies be a story of passion; a dance of kindred spirits within the flourishing garden of precious diversity.

May the interrelationships with our nature-self unite, as we, the transient keepers of the kinship flame, steward our planet in harmonious balance and in peace — forever now in mindful presence for the next seven generations to come ღ.
