Hoop Dancer
by Paula Gunn Allen

It's hard to enter
circling clockwise and counter
clockwise moving no
regard for time, metrics
irrelevant to this dance
where pain is the prime number
and soft stepping feet
praise water from the skies:
I have seen the face of triumph
the winding line stare down all moves
to desecration: guts not cut from arms,
fingers joined to minds,
together Sky and Water
one dancing one
circle of a thousand turning lines
beyond the march of gears--
out of time, out of
time, out
of time.

We will miss you. Your words always spoke a truth about all of us who have lost what it means to be home. You told us how we make our home within ourselves and with each other. Te agradecemos todas tus palabras que siempre nos llevaron hacia nuestro hogar. Un sitio de amor y resistencia. Nunca nos dejaras. En tu obra esta el futuro.

Paula Gunn Allen: "we never go away even if we're always leaving because the only home is each other they've occupied the rest colonized it; an idea about ourselves is all we own"

Ride On: Jamie Favaro & The Ultimate Commuter Race

Yes, our very own and beloved Jamie Favaro (Wells '02) has won the commuter race in NYC!

Watch the video from fox News and see Jamie ride through NYC, hold a bunch of flowers as she smiles after winning the competition, and listen to her say (this is my favorite part hands down), that she didn't even break a sweat.

Yes, this is a winner, mi gente. Ride, Jamie, Ride!!!

btw: This photo is from Jamie's Facebook profile and has nothing to do with The Ultimate Commuter Race, but it does show her bike. No bikes in the other profile pics! Whatever was going on here is another story...
