Today on hippie hill on what was a nice day turned suddenly cold and cloudy (great weather to study the Nordic pantheon). After a while reading and writing things down I noticed this women getting down by the drum circle with a large wheelchair. A women got out of her wheelchair, very old and in ill health. I was immediately piqued watching her, barefoot, putting on a shawl and slowly going into the midst of the drum circle and started dancing. She danced for a minute then went back to her wheelchair. she returned with a rose which held as though in a prayer. After some time she went back to her wheelchair and grabbed her walking cane, and started down the road. I knew i had to tell her something. I gathered up my things and followed her down a trail where she had gone. when i approached I said, "Excuse me." This sweet old lady turned to me and said, "yes?" For the first time I could see her up close her tender eyes and smile, and the soul of an old sweet women. Across her forehead was a headband of flowers that went around her head . I said, "I wanted to thank you for dancing." At which she said thanked me, and we parted ways.
