Beltane Festival

Remembering
JEHANAH
(1941-2010)
Beltane Festival
MONARCH BEAR GROVE
Sunday, May 8th, 10:00 to 12:00
bring yourself, bring a friend, bring poems, stories, and songs
dance again, laugh again, sing again, feed the ravens again
wear your finest fae frock in honor of the Fairie Queene
bring a colorful ribbon and take a whirl around the Maypole
come out and play again, and share your memories of Jehanah
mother, grandmother, aunt, poet, and druid grove mother

Heading West into Golden Gate Park, follow Middle Drive E. On the South side of the street, across from the Academy of Sciences, between the AIDS Memorial Grove and the Handball Courts, there is a grassy clearing leading up the hill to a path on the right. Monarch Bear Grove is situated at the top of the knoll,
and there you will find the stones.

  3. MONARCH
    ________

    Fast asleep-----
    Heartbeat slows to ceasing
    After the stroke of midnight

    And then

    Jehennah rises immediately from slumber
    From her bed upon spotting
    A wandering monarch,
    The bear the rest of Humanity declared a king.
    Jehennah follows the great brown bear
    Through her bedroom door
    Serving as a threshold
    To a warm sunny forest
    Of redwoods & aged oaks &
    Dirt trails formed from human travellings,
    Where she has free rein to commence
    Her spiral dance.
    Tributes paid in graceful
    Movements across soft grass to
    All four directions, the yin, the yang & her beloved
    Chosen goddess.

    The monarch bear,
    Spirit-animal of her literary
    Lifelong prayers,
    Led her here.
    Jehennah is the iconic, poetic Druidic
    Mother of a new grove
    In the hereafter.
