The Song Pit

I’m in a pit dug in the ground, about 4 feet deep.  I’m sitting around a group of rocks with a group of women and men.  There’s about 5-6 of us.  We have sticks in our hands and we’re using them like drum sticks on the rocks and singing.  Ken is in the pit with us and he has a large pole in his hand.  It’s about 8-10 feet long and he’s both burning and grinding one end of the pole in fire and on rock to sharpen is so he can put it in the ground as a post for a large tent-like construction.  It reminds me of the scene in I think it was Little Big Man where he sun dances inside a large tent-like structure on a center pole.  So Ken is creating this pole and I’m leading songs and I look at him and I kick out the Red Road song.  Ken looks at me and gives me a nod of approval.

Feels old, like a memory

High energy
