Acoma Dancers
Once the sun reached its solstice marker at Casa Rinconada, Cyrus and the Acoma dancers (Cyrus Concho and the Acoma Sky City Group Dancers) sang and prayed and danced, greeting the sun, praying for all living things. They did as their ancestors did. We were the guests, feeling welcomed and in the presence of the ancient ones.
Moonset, Sunrise
As the sun rose, the moon set. The moon was just past full, shining brightly over the mesa to the south of the great kiva. There is something about seeing the moon, full and plump in the sky, that takes my breath away.
The solstice sun has risen, and begins its journey southward once again. All is well with the world.
