Because sometimes we
travel heavy
and those heady times we
can barely
imagine the freebody
movement of
dance.
Because sometimes we
travel dark
and from those hard paths we
can’t even
conjure an image of
sunrise
or moonrise
or starlight
or fire.
Because sometimes we
travel solo
and those lonely times we
forget all the others
we’ve travelled with
lovingly
travelled with
home.
Because sometimes we
need to be
travelling lightly
because sometimes we’re in need of
regular reminding
that light comes in circles
and waves
and small moments
and light
comes to find us
and light comes with hope.This came to me by way of my friend and colleague Zand Craig, who also knows Pádraig. It’s so evocative of all the ways we travel and the reminders we need to keep a little company and have the regular remindings, the reliefs from the heaviness and the dark at times.
