When the sun can know longer be seen by human eyes. When the moonlight appears and brightens the skies. I come alive, blending with the sights and sounds of silence and the rhythm of the night.

I step outside of myself. I see my body responding to the music of the heavens with the grace of a dancer executing primal movements. The raw fluid energy of Mother Earth, I am in sync with the melodies composed in harmony with the rhythm of the night.

Open and receptive to the Universal Life Force, I am enveloped in its essence. Cleared of the toxic debris of all my yesterdays I fall under the hypnotic effect of this magnificent event. I become intoxicated with enthusiasm; whirling around in an uncontrollable frenzy upon the earth's floor hidden from the eyes of those who walk this path by day. Under the cover of darkness I dance to the rhythm of the night.

I am one with all that surrounds me. I commune with that which is greater than myself. I experience a peace that can only be found in the light of the moon as I listen to the rhythm of the night.

I lift my voice in praise and thanksgiving. I am connected to the intelligence of the deities that created me. I bring feeling and emotion to that which is pure knowledge. That which we together experience as the rhythm of the night
