Even I, one who loves rain like nothing else, had to be grateful for a reprieve as forecasted storms receded into clear blue skies with thin smoke clouds, which, too, gave way to a sea of stars.
And in the left over humidity, oh how we danced, and swayed, a happy crowd of compatriots. I had the most fun, out of everyone, I am entirely convinced. If you were there, I was the chick in the 50s flowered dress dancing and prancing everywhere. Life is for loving and living!
My personal favorite image.. why do we raise limbs and voices, turn our noses to the skies and call with long syllables overlapping and do things collaboratively?
Sometimes, mid-dance, I'd bend with my camera just so and shoot, and man, did I have fun! I'm pretty sure Mr. Tillman saw me, and he didn't tell me to put my camera away, so I think we're good.
Boring crowd shot, but tells a story. But I couldn't put it at the top. Sorry. This should be the first picture!
Jenny Lewis. Happy.. So happy...
In the core of chaos
soft wind meets wet limbs and cheeks stretched
grinning with praise, inventing dimples
the whirring thunder of voices, the echo of breaths expelled
we step away, a bit, seeing high and illuminated
pleased at our streaming, appeased at an encore
each ride the best we will ever be
