who is in your family? ~ August 17, 2003 - 11:56 p.m. things are good. intensely good. and strange. but good. you know, one of those times that are hard to write about. ariana and I are reconnecting, andre and I are reconnecting, all the old energy is being swept away, and we laugh a lot. we went swimming yesterday. somehow that amazes me, that you can be in oakland and take a short drive to a small lake and go swimming. and there was magic, oh yes there was. "let's swim like a flock of birds, okay??" yelled andre, and took off, and we flew after her, migrating here and there around the lake. we took turns flying lead, our formation ebbed and flowed, and we laughed and laughed. ariana was swimming on her back so that she could see the sky, and she giggled and pointed-- birds-- and there they were, swooping overhead on exactly our trajectory. we flew on, zinging on their birdly energy-- and another formation swooped out of the sky and blew past us just overhead. andre and I took off at a good crawl, and I think it was only she and I who saw the third, and then the forth flock whoosh past our heads. it was all about bird energy yesterday. all about freedom. andre's picked up magnus' latest mantra, and she loves to toss it out when we're all having a moment of complete magic: sacred work and play, cleverly disguised as a party. there's wild energy flying around, too. I think we may be having another energy surge similar to the one three years ago. this one may be bigger, though. I don't know how many times at firedance I'd notice someone starting a sentence with three years ago... a lot happened three years ago. three years ago I fully rediscovered that magic is real. check out risa's latest horoscopes. they read like marching orders. breathe deep, brothers and sisters, and be ready... anything-can-happen time.
