First Stories

As dusk fades into darkness,

Gather 'round, there's plenty of room around the fire...

Listen to

The breath of the blaze,

Watch the 

 dance of frantic flames

It sparks an ancestral  memory that

whispers through the ages...

Tales of the outrageous, the courageous,

and parables of the sages

So gather around the fire,

This mystical force conjures up its own stories and

calls us to do the same...

So bring a story, bring a song

there's wisdom and hope in the light that pierces the night...

_________

May a billion neurons fire to conspire

May our restless hearts be stoked to aspire

To carry the light, from day into night

May It Be
