• Movement has the capacity to take us to the home
  of the soul, the world within for which we have
  no name. Movement reaches our deepest nature,
  and dance creatively expresses it. Through dance,
  we gain new insights into the mystery of our lives.
  When brought forth from the inside and forged by
  the desire to create personal change, dance has the
  profound power to heal the body, psyche and soul.

• At Tara in this fateful hour, I place all Heaven with its power, And the sun with its brightness, And the snow with its whiteness, And the fire with all the strength it hath, And the lightning with its rapid wrath, And the winds with their swiftness along their path, And the sea with its deepness, And the rocks with their steepness, And the earth with its starkness: All these I place, By God's almighty help and grace Between myself and the powers of darkness!
