The Volcanic eruption
Volcanoes
We are on a mountain, but its also kind of a volcano. Its dark, night time.
We have been measuring its seismic waves and its going to blow. Earth tremors and mini earth quakes have woke the sleeping volcano, and now its been a counting game as to how long its going to be.
Lava is starting to ooze out at a central flat point at the top, and everything is poised with excitement. There is a tall pine tree on the top of the volcano. We look up to the top of the volcano and the pine tree has caught fire. Flames lick up from the bottom of the tree all the way to the top, until it is like a burning Olympic torch in the night lighting up all around, flames flying up to the stars.
Ground shakes, and explosions like thunder erupt.
"Pete! We must now do our ceremony and get photographs! This burning tree is the omen we have been waiting for."
Me and my friends go out from our little house in our little buggies which are just like mini cars, in a trail winding up the volcano to do the ceremony and get the photos. We drive around the volcano a number of times saying prayers. I get really excited, this is a once in a millennia experience and we
happen to be the ones to be here and witnessing. We photograph the burning tree and now there are flying burning rocks coming out of the volcano. Its too dangerous to be up here now, so we retreat down the hill. One of the burning rocks lands on my head and gets caught in my hat. I struggle to get it out, and eventually it does come out. Few! That was a close one.

Church
I express anger to my parents, especially my dad, its something related to him asking and expecting me to do something and behaving in a certain way. I basically say no, I won't do this. It shocks him and he gets angry, but he's not prepared for me to get angry back at him and I use my sting, something I don't use very often, which stumps him an keeps him quiet.
Then this girl sits on my knee as we are in church and there's nowhere else to sit. Its nice having someone sitting on your knee, but I forget that I have lots of stuff in my pockets and when she tries to make herself comfortable she can't because of all these tools in my pocket, - knives, spanners, lighters coins, string, all sorts. I need to be getting rid of it all so I start pulling it out.

Mirrors and sacred choreography.
Now we are working with stages and different set ups.
We have a really high stage where the person receiving their mirrors
sits in the middle of the stage and the mirror people sit around the
edge. We experiment where to best place our head.
Also we experiment with it all being done much faster.
And the dark room is not nearly as dark this time. Its like a photo booth.
It doesn't work nearly as well and I make a comment about it being
militaristic.

Friends
I seem M and I see that there are 2 soul sisters with her. I see that
she is really a delicate and sensitive soul.
