Oh, Tigger! Réka, Fiona, Catherine! The moon in Capricorn has called forth all you beautiful, wise, courageous elders. I feel blessed to be in this circle of sisters, holding hands, sharing, giving, receiving.

Thank you for your thoughts and kind words, Fiona. Yes, as soon as the ego has stepped aside to a sufficient degree, one is able to help. I just couldn't see myself as a lonely queen, high above others. I am also on the way, still learning like everybody else, but yes, I'm not waiting to get anywhere to live fully!

The horse sharings are so wonderful! Thank you so much!

I was asked yesterday why I opened the moon circle for men. One of the reasons I mentioned is that anybody in the OH community can participate passively anyway, reading what has been posted. After I had written this, I went back to reading my book, another book by Hilary Hart, called 'The Unknown She - Eight Faces of an Emerging Conciousness' (another phantastic book, btw). And synchronistically the first thing I read was this dream, told by a woman:

"I look through an open door into a room. What strikes me is the sheer number of books lining every wall. I very much want to meet the man who lives here, and I enter in. The man arrives and there is an instant recognition. He is a stranger but I respond as if we are old friends. The atmosphere is electric for I can see the same regard in his eyes. The room beyond has a double bed in it and as a very natural course of events we end up on it.
After making love I start to dance for him. I am already naked but as I dance it is as if a veil falls revealing a mystery that is in turn veiled. And again as I move another veil falls to reveal a yet deeper level of this mystery that is itself veiled and so on. This veiling and unveiling of the mystery of the divine feminine. While I dance the man stands silent and motionless, never taking his eyes from me.
His presence is terribly important because in this dynamic he is shown something of this mystery and I come to experience the mystery, and the joy inherent in it. It is at the core, within my own body.
The man then expresses some of his fear of how the world will find me changed, the stiff poise and decorum replaced by something vital and dynamic which will make many uncomfortable. How the world fears a natural being, fears Nature."

So, what I called a passive participation is of course a very active one, that of the observer or of the seer. Many thanks to all who have joined us and are playing this terribly important part, men and women alike!
