"It was quite late in the year and...

...the cold was just beginning to bite when Brida received a phone call from Wicca.
     'We're going to meet in the wood in two days' time, on the night of the new moon, just before dark,' was all she said.
     Brida spent those two days thinking about that meeting. She performed the usual rituals and danced to the sound of the world. 'I wish I could dance to some music,' she thought, but she was becoming used to moving her body according to that strange vibration, which she could hear better at night or in certain silent places. Wicca had told her that when she danced to the sound of the world, her soul would feel more comfortable in her body and there would be a lessening of tension. Brida began to notice how people walking down the street didn't seem to know what to do with their hands or how to move their hips or shoulders. She felt like telling them that the world was playing a tune and if they danced a little to that music, and simply allowed their body to move illogically for a few minutes a day, they would feel much better."
