The folks you saw stretching and bending in yesterday’s post were also entertainers in the fire dance at the end of the Summer Solstice Celebration. The fire dance was set up on the basketball court at the Arboretum. This was such a nice grand finale and hard to believe it was free! We heard children talking about wanting to learn to dance with fire. Who knows at what point in one’s life something sparks a lifelong passion, a career? Those children were captivated. 

On another note, Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, writes about the blue, night sky. The sky is blue just at the point where daylight lets go and night has not completely taken over! Since fire is reflected onto the people in the circle, we saved this blue, night sky photo for the weekend reflection meme.
