"We all dance for different reasons. Some feel empowered when they dance. This comes in many forms. The ancient sisters dance through us- if we are open to it -and through them we see the state of the world. Through them, we are given tools to to ground ourselves and through them, we find the support that surrounds our bodies in times of exhaustion. Like giving birth, preparation is the key and lends itself to breathing, stretching and trust. As long as we reach for the heavens and stay grounded in humility we will be filled with the source."

Postscript
One night a few weeks ago during October's full moon, Jamilla drove up to Arches National Park around 3:00am, and stopped in the parking lot below the Three Gossips. The moonlight was so bright she could see color in the rocks around her. There was nobody else around for miles and miles; she had the Park to herself. The night was absolutely still. Turning up her car stereo volume full blast, she danced at the Ladies' feet. The monolithic cliffs towered hundreds of feet above her, and the music echoed down into the labrynth of Courhouse Wash and the Petrified Dunes beyond. Balancing a sabre on her head, she danced with her moonlight shadow to the hypnotic music and ancient rhythms for hours, until the the dawn appeared with her rosy fingers over the La Sal mountains...
