THE GIRL WHO MARRIED COYOTE
The Conflict of Longing & Expectation
March 22, 2008, Port Townsend, Washington
The Story lays out the territory within which we strive to renew our bonds with the unseen and the divine. Together we will cross the threshold of the spring equinox which renews the circle of time and creation.
In a ritual attempt to repair the boundary between longing and expection within ourselves, we honor and clarify the boundary between this world and the Other.
The critical balance of reciprocity between the human world and the Otherworld has been lost. So much of what we long
to receive and what we long to give remains unfulfilled. Burdened to the breaking-point with misplaced expectations, our human relationships are overwhelmed with blame and disappointment. The "apparent" reasons are, at best, misleading; the underlying truth is simple--human beings are not gods. Yet the proportions of our disappointment are equaled only by the grandeur of our magical, mythic, and holy longings.
Rather than turn upward to the great and grand, The Girl Who Married Coyote asks us to go down, to the small, neglected, and unwanted, into the gap, the contradiction, between what we expect from the human community and what we actually long for from the divine.
