desert dancer
Posted by Goddess Leonie on June 25th, 2006. Filed under: Joyful Goddess Life.
the desert was a miracle.
the red sand beneath my feet, patterning my clothes.
the beautiful landscape and HER palpable heart beat.
the new friends.
the big spirit lessons.
the connecting with my lover in incredible new ways.
i left my skin somewhere out there in the desert.
tears spring to my eyes as i write this.
yes, my skin. my old skin.
i dreamt it out of me, i wrote it out of me, i spoke it out of me, i meditated it out of me.
i grieved her a little,
and i celebrated her a lot more.
i danced in the dunes.
i emu danced and i rainbow-serpent danced.
i danced in the rock caves of the world’s largest monolith.
i drank in sunsets and sunrises and stargazed every night.
i saw angels and cosmic heartbeats and shooting stars.
i marvelled and i sang and i learned and i heard.
i am restless for the desert dunes,
the true heartlands.
i want you back like a babe misses the womb,
and yet i know i am to grow without you for now,
but within me is the desert. i know the desert in me now.
i know the woman who dances in the desert.
buffalo in the desert,
walking her lessons through.
be blessed,
Leonie

I have been thinking of you Honey, Thank you for sharing this with us….with the world….I am moved beyond words, so beautiful.
I have tears feeling what you write of this.
I love you deeply, I love the way you love *you* deeply….and I just love the way you are with your journey….deep…
Deep-journeying heart-sister, I love that I glimpsed the buffalo bracelet in the heart of the desert.
*happy sigh*

when I saw the Desert Dancer picture
the Afghan lady on the front of National Geographic came to mind.
Remember that one?
wide eyed, wild eyed, spirited, mysterious, intense, one with Mother Gaia
i’m glad you jumped at the opportunity with your lover. it seemed like a lot came out!
blessed be, jt
