Thank you  so very much  for going above and beyond (against all odds!)
I am so happy to have experienced the dance for the New Year.
"A Secret One" was sublime.   Tee Lee
It was just wonderfully fulfilling
FULFILLING!

1. Ya Shafee, ya Khafee           
    Sidestep left, hands toward center,
    wrists crossed with neighbors
2. Let me do thy will, Allah     
    Face partner or walk left. 
    Open hands raised high, bringing
    hands down, folding over heart
   Allah, Allah                         
   Offer heart in cupped palms, opening
   up & out, as a cup, offering love.
3. La illaha illa 'llah   (inner circle)   shoulder to shoulder, fingers interlaced
Thanks you Diana for your leadership in creating & sustaining this event over the years, and to Patrick for his excellent photography.           Isabel
I especially like the picture of the 3 different types of shoes:  a clever shot that says a lot about how the dances are open to all types. I really liked the song at the end with the bells. What a great way to "ring" in the new year!           Jean McCauley

Nayaz

Beloved Lord, Almighty God,
Through the rays of the sun,
Through the waves of the air,
Through the all-pervading life in space,
Purify and revivify me, and I pray
Heal my body, heart and soul.

Hazrat Inayat Khan
"On a metaphysical level, when you sing your heart opens.  That's why
   all religions & traditions have made so much of singing in their rituals. 
 When the heart opens, you feel good.  It's that simple."      Deva Premal

Everything is taught in the moment as we join our voices together.
