Lainesblog Thinking Out Loud

Do we share an ancient memory

of a time when life was truly simpler

and our days were spent in the open air,

close to the changing seasons and nature's ways?

Our true heritage

as children of this earth,

punctuated by the sounds of drums and exotic horns,

and the call of the wild,

is all but forgotten,

except perhaps in our deepest dreams.

Thanks to the kindness of these Pre-Columbian dancers of Xochitlalpan for letting me take their photograph after the 500 year celebration of La Florida in St. Augustine.
