Today I would like to invite you to join me, Jen Mad and Susanne at the Just Post table. In my mind the table stands in the middle of a field filled with tall grasses. The golden light of the sun slowly fades into a blue grey twilight. The sound of laughter and conversation fills the air.
We light a fire and its orange blue crackle shouts a welcome to the first curious stars. Children and dogs run around the fire or lie quietly, their eyes reflecting the flight of a white moth around the moon.
After a while we become silent. It is time to sing a new world into existence.
We close our eyes. Each of us reach deep into our hearts where a small golden flame sings to itself. Around it dances its pale blue shaddows. It sings of change. We open our hearts and allow its words to fill the air around us. Together our voices invite a new future to approach.
The evening holds her breath.....
and then the stars join the dance, the wolves run around the fire and children laugh with the joy of new possibilities.

Good god, Hel. You are amazing.
I am getting impatient to move our metaphorical roundtable into reality. Even more so now that my parents are in your part of the world. I am green with envy.
And I've missed you.
How beautiful. What a wonderful setting for this wonderful roundtable.
Your photos are gorgeous.
Thank you so much for the link. It's fascinating to see the different approaches each of you guys participating is taking to the October Just Posts. I love the way you've interspersed all these beautiful photographs. It's visual poetry.

Dancing around the fire sounds marvelous. And I'll probably never grok that you're standing there at the beginning of summer while I'm looking out at snow at the same time...
