Do we share an ancient memory
of a time when life was truly simpler
and our days were spent in the open air,
close to the changing seasons and nature's ways?
Our true heritage
as children of this earth,
punctuated by the sounds of drums and exotic horns,
and the call of the wild,
is all but forgotten,
except perhaps in our deepest dreams.
Thanks to the kindness of these Pre-Columbian dancers of Xochitlalpan for letting me take their photograph after the 500 year celebration of La Florida in St. Augustine.
