Here the Dragon come alive with flame and fireworks.

All too soon the fireworks are over. You feel the change in the group's energy, the danger and excitement subside, replaced by introspection and contentment as we draw closer to the flames.

Talk is quiet. If we're lucky, a flock of geese fly overhead, calling to each other in the dark night.

Do you use art to create community?
