7 Etznab
White Resonant
Mirror
Pale Streaks amble up an eastern Sky
Ethereal pink – yellow – violet
Dawn arrives –
Irrevocable Proof that Revelry
May Reality postpone
But never Time
We dance the Moon up to her Prime
From a dry Lake Bed – itself a Moonscape
We feel Her move within
The Music and the soft blue Night
We ride the Constellations
Traveling on Adrenalin and Starlight
We sing to the Moon as she
Fades into a wan Reflection of
Midnight’s diamond Glory –
Our Drumbeats echo
Earth’s beating Heart
We came to celebrate –
Retrieve and consecrate
Our resonant Connection
To universal Fate
Moon hangs low and westerly
When finally we leave –
The Day begins, but we are finished.

Rita Christiani
Rita Christiani (1917-2008) was a Trinidad-born African-American dancer who appeared in American films during the 1940's.
Biography
Christiani was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad on December 22, 1917.
She danced and toured with the Katherine Dunham Company in the early 1940's. In the course of touring, Christiani met the independent avante-garde filmmaker, Maya Deren, and was given a role in Deren’s film Ritual in Transfigured Time (1946). Deren was the main character in the film and Christiani danced the role of Deren’s alter ego, their images interchanging in black and white counterpoint to the dancer Frank Westbrook. Anaïs Nin was also in the film.
Footage of Christiani from this film was included in the documentary In the Mirror of Maya Deren (2002) by Martina Kudlacek.
Christiani and Deren became close friends, sharing the bond of being uprooted from their native lands as children and coming to America.
Her other film appearances include The Black Swan (1942) starring Tyrone Power and Maureen O'Hara, Road to Morocco (1942) starring Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, and the musicals Thank Your Lucky Stars (1942) and Happy Go Lucky (1943).
After working in films and as a dancer, Christiani may have been a nurse in Chicago.
Christiani died on May 23, 2008 in Brooklyn, New York.

Kin 98: White Resonant Mirror
I channel in order to reflect
Inspiring order
I seal the matrix of endlessness
with the resonant tone of attunement
I am guided by the power of heart.
Cosmic History introduces a new vibration and frequency which contains a new galactic store and lode of knowledge.*
