<p>I see a story line in the moves of this dance that I like; the
Wednesdays after elections, we go back to our daily routines,
connecting at work and in the neighborhood and with best friends,
and encountering new folks as well. <br>
</p>
<p>Our contra dance communities are a microcosm [albeit samplings as
opposed to representations] of the larger population. The people
who commute at the same times and along the same routes everyday
are still the ones with whom we share the road so that everyone
arrives home safely. The wait staff at the restaurant, the baggers
and cashiers at our most frequented stores are the same, and we
interact with them in the same, hopefully kind and courteous, ways
as we did before. Who we've elected does not change our human
connections. We get to choose how we interact with/cooperate
with/share kindnesses with in all of our circles of influence.</p>
<p>I admit to hoping for one of those magical fixes last night that
often occurs with an evening of dancing , and to being less able
to soak it up, less able to contribute to the possibility, but
today I am better for having gone than I could possibly have been
if I had stayed home and missed the car pool conversation, the
favorite tunes, the eye contact, and the swings that, for the
moment, put us both in balance.</p>
<p>How fortunate are we all for being able to dance our lives....<br>

Subject: [Callers] Post election day dances?<br>
<br>
I calling the Baltimore contra on Wednesday.<br>
<br>
Vote With Your Feet of course.<br>
Others I am considering are:<br>
Take All of the Credit and None of the Blame The Eyes Have
It Illegal in Most States Not a Figment of Your Imagination
Rocks and Dirt In Cahoots Chaos Pie Blueshift The Dancer's
Duty Long May It Wave There Is No Way to Peace<br>
<br>
Any other suggestions?<br>
<br>
