Dancing Alone
Colorful abstract art and whimsical pen and inks of southern France
are woven through the author's tender and sometimes hilarious story of spiritual transformation.
The story follows the thread through whirling 1960's Haight Ashbury , motherhood and the unexpected gifts of menopause as rebirth into greater authenticity and power and ends up in a tiny and ancient farmhouse high on a hill in rural France utterly alone for the first time.
In time the rediscovery of a love of writing helps her to rediscover herself as does daily meditation practice. Gradually her loneliness is transformed into a deep love of solitude.
The writing is reflective and fresh, an inspiring story for those of us who wonder what might be possible as we age.
The gift of romance in the autumn of life is heartening but, in the end, it is the discovery of self love that is the message of the book.

About the author
Georgann Low
4 books10 followersI write the same way i make art. I somehow put some words on paper (I like paper) and see where it takes me. I can mess around with it later on computer when I reread it.
Much, much easier than a blotch of ink or an awkward line in a drawing which I have to scurry around and make into a rock of some sort.
Good thing I'm not overly fastidious. My inner chuckle is usually at the ready!
Also known as Bunny, Georgann Low is an artist and jazz musician/songwriter. She lives with her imaginary cat in a turn-of-the-century apartment building in uptown Denver. She particularly likes bananas but disdains pot roast for the most part.

An honest but gentle book portraying a woman's journey of healing and embracing her creativity. There were some beautifully phrased sections that spoke deeply to me.
