Again, the answer eludes me


The Findhorn Foundation annual Festival of Sacred Dance, Music and Song began today, and I am here! Today was registration day; gathering people together, forming an intention for the weekend, helping people find their way around The Park..

There was some dancing, of course, and some singing-a small sample of what was to come. But there was also attuning, brining ourselves to be present in the moment, to arrive at the foundation, to feel ourselves in our bodies-feet on the floor, head reaching to the sky, feeling the hands of our fellow dancers in the circle.

We chose an angel, a messenger, an energy or a quality to be with us as we spend this week together. “Enthusiasm” How perfect.  Over a hundred dancers, singers and musicians from all over the world, gathered with intention to celebrate life through dance, music and song.

In our smaller groups, we chose individual angels for our week here, after meditating on what brought us to Findhorn, and what deeper meaning there might be to our being drawn to the north of Scotland this rainy summer.
And a small voice inside me called three times, “Let me out! Let me out! Let me out!” And I thought, “Who is wanting out? Someone is wanting out to play.” And then I chose the Angel “Honesty”. How perfect. A wonderful companion to “Truth”, who came to dance with me at Newbold House last weekend.

This  walkabout summer is all about meeting  the real Tracy, letting her come forth to be who she is all by herself. I suspect there are many answers to the question, “Who is Tracy?”

And for a moment in that circle of sharing, I KNEW THE ANSWER! I understood that all I had to do was look in the mirror.  Gaze onto my own eyes. I had a vision of my life going forward- engaging with open, loving people, spending my days in love with the world. I thought, “I can go home now, this is what I was seeking.”

Just a glimpse, and then it was gone. Mirror, Mirror, on the wall….
