Little Hoop Dancer with Autism Spectrum

Sometimes there are no words
To describe
What a child is experiencing

While dancing
Spinning a hoop
Listening to water

What is it that you need to know?

She is communicating

With her movements
Right now

It is a language of contentment.

Hoop Teacher

Studying the flightpaths of Ravens
Laughing, tumbling, soaring

Pulling back off the wind and rolling
Like a rip curl in some wild invisible wave

Subtle shifts tilting you sideways
Chasing between narrow spaces of trees

Joyful play

Lifting my arms in balance
Allowing them to move over and under my hoop

Spinning, turning, flipping
Changing directions with push or pinch of my human hand

Mystery of flight
Mastery of surrender

Iridescent aura

Disappearing

Into Light.
