**The Goddess and the Grasshopper: Introduction**
I walk into the darkened, dimly lit space, shrouded in the murmurings of others.
The clinking of glasses, casual conversations, intermittent outbursts of laughter. The room is a blur.
I feel comforted by the undefined anonymity as my heart beats out of my chest.
I draw a slow deep breath, feeling it fill and expand the pit at the base of my belly. In the stretch, I hold.
I lose track…until I remember, then control myself as I slowly exhale, through pursed lips.
I feel pounding in my chest, my ears, as warmth fills my face.
It’s so hot in here. I close my eyes and continue to breathe.
All the mutterings are silenced by the rush of air in and the controlled, extended release.
“what the f***?” I’m jolted back into the space, as a force knocks me forward.
Thankfully my legs, my feet respond and catch me as I lunge.
I had stopped in the midst of a thoroughfare, right near the entrance and been jostled by an energetic party that had just arrived at the bar. They pushed past me and broke my silence with joyus eruptions, squeals of excitement.
Anger and annoyance rise, but after taking a few breaths, quickly subside, as the context of the scene comes back into focus.
I scan the room. I become aware of my hands, clasping, grabbing, wringing at each other just in front of my body.
I wipe my moist palms against the jeans that grip my thighs and continue to step into the space.
It’s busy. People are grouped, and are not, all around me. Faceless among the masses.
There is a lively pulse, a festive electricity in the air.
I remember to breathe, as I remember why I’m there…
(End of Introduction)
