How can we most wonderfully be the dance? We can be whole -- both being and
dancing. Open space is the essence of sacred feminine, the dance that fills
it is the essence of sacred masculine.

A delightfully masculine question, Harrison! Where does anything take us?
The counterpart feminine question is, "How can we most wonderfully  be the
dance?"

I think it is fair to say that the female/male (feminine/masculine) dance
has been something of a marathon. Occasionally it really flows, as any good 
dance/dancers might hope for. For myself, I remember those occasions as
extraordinary moments. But then I love to dance. At other times there are a
lot of feet that get stepped. And sometimes, one partner or the other simply

gets swept off the floor and/or chooses to retire -- which makes the dance
something of an oddity, not to say virtually impossible.

So if Open Space is a dance, where does that take us?

As some of my favorite books are being offered for reading I would like 
to add another.  Layne Remonds's When The Woman Were Drummers has some 
interesting insights about the change in balance.  According to Redmond
there was also a corresponding change in the relationship to the drum's 
purpose and who played it.  There are many vase pictures of woman
holding round disk objects.  Before woman had access to the acadamy most
male archeologists discribed those disks as cakes.  Gimbutus says they
are drums.  Redmond is a frame drummer herself and I think, quite a
scholar on the history of the frame drum.  I seem to remember some
issues between Moses and his sister Miriam before leaving Eygpt.  I am
no Old Testament scholar but seem to remember that Miriam was a drummer 
and there were some power struggles between her and Moses.  I think it 
was the people that insisted Miriam be included.  That would at least
date this struggle in the balance between the masculine and feminine to 
that time.
