Keep the Fire Burning / Bealtaine Fire Festival

Written By Holly Regan

what do the stones know?

what do your bones know?

what is the balance of doing and being, sensing and feeling vs learning and making?

how do you move with the seasons in a culture that demands producing?

I want to give back but I don’t know if I want to make stuff anymore

I guess I do I just don’t want to have to in order to survive

I want to be a healing arts practitioner

and support queer and trans people

I think I might want to do the facilitator training from Kikumi

or maybe I just won’t come back from the lake or the jungle

the stones tell me to listen

my body doesn’t know how to be still anymore

I don’t even know if it needs to be

my nervous system’s buzzing like the bees

that are appearing everywhere in synchronicity

i’m a pollinator

I’m a queer, non-binary writer and editor from Seattle who lives for independent food and drink, craft beer, travel, art, the written word, spiritual exploration, cycling and running. “Praise Seitan! Food, Drink, Art & Travel From the Heart of Seattle” is where I share vegetarian recipes; dining and drinking experiences; tales of my travels around the world; personal stories of healing, spiritual evolution and gender journeying; and observations about life and culture.
