Notes
Based on dance of the Knights Templar, so says Bernard. 
The dance was a greeting dance. 
As we dance it, we look into one anotherķs eyes
(or with our eyes closed, feel each others hearts presence)
and know that this is the moment.
Like the Knights Templar, death may be awaiting on the very morrow to take us from the circle to the circle.
This dance may or may not be traditional. Bernard often let such things,
it appears, be unclear.
One of my favorite quotes from Bernard is:
ģI never let the truth get in the way of a good story.ī
On the other hand ... perhaps he did not say that at all...
The unique crossed arms handhold form a spiraling circle, an ancient symbol of flowing energy, an ancient symbol of eternity.
