Aphrodite's Garden








Aphrodite's Garden

In Aphrodite's Garden you will find a little girl playing in the sand.

She builds a castle for her and her beloved.

In  Aphrodite's Garden you will find a dancer. Wherever her small feet touch earth, a bud blossoms, a flower blooms.

There is a frog that croaks in the small hands of the child.

And a woman with large breasts the color of warm sand.

You will see collections: shells from distant shores, beads of all colors and shapes, stones and jewels.

There is a woman there who watches over the collections and binds pieces together. She has a giving hand and all her sisters wear her makings.

In Aphrodite's Garden there is much dancing and much singing.

There is a celebration.

Welcome

Welcome

We are dancing to the moon, dancing to ourselves.

Come join, the water is warm and clear.

In Aphrodite's Garden we meet.

We tie flowers and corals into each others' hair and whisper sweet nothings into each others ears.

We giggle, haunted like children, calling to the stars to fall into the palm of our hands.

And they do

And then we twist grass into a ring and tie the stars onto each others' fingers.

In Aphrodite's Garden the Great Healer resides in the base of the thousand year old tree.

Her hair is as long as the ocean shore, her wrinkles as deep as the ocean's bottom...

When she touches me...

I know that I will meet you all again

That I will meet my All again
