Dance with Life

Dear Members of The Waldorf School of Santa Barbara Community,

Here is a short movie of great inspiration very much in keeping with our desire at WSSB to steward our particular place in Goleta, California, thereby honoring and reverencing the Earth. We hope you enjoy your weekend.

In gratitude,

The WSSB Admin Team

PS The poem of the day is by Gerard Manley Hopkins:

Inversnaid

This darksome burn, horseback brown,
His rollrock highroad roaring down,
In coop and in comb the fleece of his foam
Flutes and low to the lake falls home.

A windpuff-bonnet of fáwn-fróth
Turns and twindles over the broth
Of a pool so pitchblack, féll-frówning,
It rounds and rounds Despair to drowning.

Degged with dew, dappled with dew
Are the groins of the braes that the brook treads through,
Wiry heathpacks, flitches of fern,
And the beadbonny ash that sits over the burn.

What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
