Footprints of the Ancestors
One day at my wilderness cabin, a group of Naropa students and I dipped our feet in paint to reenact a Taoist constellation dance intended to bridge Heaven and Earth. Later, I brushed a copy of a calligraphic invocation and offering to the ancestors engraved on an ancient bronze cauldron from 2000 BC. Thus, our ritual dance joined Heaven, Earth, and Human.
