Dancing Goddess |
|
When the Goddess begins to dance, people from all around will gather by the shore and watch her move in the tide with such grace and beauty. They drop everything and sway in the evening mist. Mothers let their babies slip from their grasp and fall into the surf. Nobody notices the splashes. The Goddess laughs as each sacrifice is made. Sometimes, after the dance, their bodies wash up on the shore, and there is much grief. The Goddess has rejected the children. But when the children wash out to sea, it is said they have become her royal consorts. |
