Dear Regina Folk Festival,
Thank you.

for that feeling of mud oozing through grass and through the toes of the feet stomping on it,
remembering Earth perhaps for the first time all summer.

for thousands of glowing faces turned yearningly, expectantly, excitedly, amazed,
collectively receiving the same experience through diverse bodies
and for the one pair of eyes that happen to catch mine in a fleeting but pregnant recognition of interconnectedness. strangers united by shared experience.

for the spontaneous miracles sparked when artist meets artist meets talented and passionate artist, and hundreds bear witness to their improvised collective creation. i've seen magic born in your workshops (and, this year, in an ad-hoc post-concert jam around the cenotaph).

for opening a space where it's okay to be who we are at our very core,
for inviting artists who live and breath their diverse truths and inspire that honesty in me.

for families with babies on blankets beside amorous teenagers and seniors with binoculars and lawn chairs. for all of us experiencing life -- all of it -- family frustrations, break-ups and love affairs included -- together. for one whole weekend.

for wandering and intuition and synchronistic encounters with friends old and new between sets, between stages, between songs.

for smiles exchanged with strangers on bicycles riding home after the show. because, like a shared secret, the magic of the day is still in us, and we can sense it in one another too.

for hugs and hula hoops, laughter and lights, drummers and strummers, stompers and rompers, face painters, fiddle players, and layers and layers of fun. for community -- sharing food and plastic plates and a soccer game outside the gates.

for exhausted bodies sucking strength from the vibrations on the dance floor to move to one more song because they have to. because it's only three days and it only comes once a year and because monday will come too soon and it's not the exhaustion we'll remember but the euphoria of our bodies bouncing to the beat, of music moving through us until our limbs are no longer our own -- guided by bass and drum and clarinet, collectively transcending our separateness.

Thank you.
