The Psychic

She has that funny look in her eye, that knowing look. Her face is shines with friendliness and is adorned with shiny beads and jewels. Her dress is a mix of flowing blues and purples and she wears a head scarf decorated with sparkly things, and on her hands are many rings, and bracelets cover her arms. She is the psychic woman.

A group of us surround her, eagerly awaiting her words of wisdom and prophecy.

She tells us she won't be around much longer, and that she won't leave behind much to follow. We are all sad because she has been our guide and our teacher, we always looked to her for help.

Now she talks to us, and we listen attentively. She points to me and says that she will leave a gift with me, a gift of leadership. People look at me with hope in there eyes, and I think "why me? I can't be a leader".

Now psychic woman wants us to have one last dance together. She asks us to merge with our animal spirits and dance out over the fields. Dancing is hardly the word most people would call it; they would use the word "insane". I feel more than slightly self conscious that I'm making a fool of myself, especially since I don't feel "merged" in any way. I'm just a grown up trying to be a kid again!

Now psychic woman wants some money. Why does she need money if she is leaving for good? We all pay her some anyway, for the help she has been over the years, but it does feel a bit odd, in this sacred moment to start asking for money.

Now she has gone, and I am with some friends from Sheffield. We are playing music in what seems a bit like a tree house; there are many different levels and we are traveling between them.

On some levels we are playing hip hop, and on others we are playing folk, and on others yet more music, so much different styles of music, all in one tree house.

I'm falling and someone else is falling with me, and we both land without getting hurt.

Now we are all falling in someway or another, its part of making the music, you need to drop together at some point. And now I'm walking down a genel with Conor and the band, and we start running and we don't know if we can stop, and there's a road at the bottom, and its gona be dangerous if we can't stop in time!
