Thoughts and Thanks around Beltane

I was and continue to be so grateful for all we do....

Even before I saw the Land in the day, as we arrived at night, I noticed how clean it felt. The working party crew really did a wonderful job preparing the Sanctuary for the Gathering. Thanks to Emily, Nyna, Sky and Chance for your hard work before the Gathering. If I didn't mention anyone, its because I didn't know you were there.

Thanks to Tink for being the Trash Queen! It was so organized and clean that I didn't really feel a need to do a sculpture to draw attention to our garbage.
It was like a lot of our intentions around what the Gathering should be like as far as trash and stuff got worked out before I even got there. I was pretty focused on my own intentions and I am so grateful that Tink had the trash scene under control. I hope lots of people took home a black garbage bag on their way out.

Thanks go out to everyone in the working ritual circle.
Thanks go out to Free Daddy and Morrigan-less-loss for holding and pouring the sweat lodge.
All the food queens and dishwashers...
The fire tenders, especially Tuni and MAz. All the wood cutters and wood gathers,

Thanks go out to those who made the barn so pretty during the dance parties.
Also thanks go out to those who created space in the back of the barn for people to work things out.

My heart is so full from this gathering. I am so glad I camped around other people!
I am so glad I allowed myself to express the things that I have been holding in my heart!
I continue to feel grateful and full. Although I am a bit worried about transitioning back to the urban world. but thankfully,
I live next door to someone who understands and will gladly give me a hug or head rub when I need one.

with a full Heart and puppy exuberance!
