To begin...

It's Labor Day for a few more short minutes. Summer is over for all intents and purposes. My semester starts tomorrow night at Swarthmore. GCD begins again on Wednesday after our August break. Fall is a time for beginnings - new shoes, new school supplies, new advenures...

To begin,
Catch your partner's eye
Before you cast off.
Just miss each other as you cross up,
But stay connected by a glance in the figure eight.
Briefly catch hands in the star, in the circle.
Linger, for an extra moment,
Then let the gate sweep you away.

Reunited, dance down the center
Holding a gaze, holding your breath.

Finally turn together,
Wrapped in the music and the moment.
Two move as one.
Begin.
