Sisters Weekend
image by Priscilla Du Preez
It started with Moonlight
and Valentino and candles,
with life rushing by
us, eroding our
edges too fast.
We were swept up by life.
We stepped out of the flow.
Life was swept up by us.
We stepped into ourselves.
Reaching back to our
sisters and centers,
we sistered and centered.
It was two nights in
Santa Cruz,
three golden days.
Enough/not enough
time, a touchstone,
a weekend, a lifeline.
