This piece is based upon the words of Toltec Master, don Allan Hardman.

“In the Beginning…there was darkness. And the darkness was named ‘Love.’ The darkness was alone, and longed to share Love with Other. The darkness was potential and power and made a Lover, a manifestation of Love. Creation was born, made from the body of Love as a companion and reflection of Love.

Creation was born of Love, animated by Love, a mirror for Love. And we know it as Life.

Love becomes Life, and celebrates itself as Creation. Life celebrates Love and Love celebrates Life.

We are that Love; we are that Life. Let us know ourselves as Love; let us know ourselves as Life.

Let us celebrate both together in the dace of Love, the dance of Life; celebrating in Joy.

We are Joydancers!”
