Ohhhhhh fellow dancer, upon stage and page. I wonder if we can’t help but do this, we musically inclined choreographers who write--to create rhythm with our words. To dance musicality across a page. To use the visual and audio aspects of the written word, in addition to conveying meaning through language. Like the ways you broke up “body.” And “yes, yes, I must confess,” in a piece that is not meant to be poetry. But it all is.

These qualities were so familiar from the first of your words that I ever read. I look forward to reading more!

I, too, handled my own issues with being in crowds and public interactions through a career on the stage. I, too, am transitioning into new forms of bravery in actually letting people experience the specificity of my words. It makes it a little easier and a lot more fun, not doing it alone.

Thanks for sharing yourself!

This is amazing! Have me goose bumps to read about your life story. I love the way that you think, it's similar to my thinking but way more developed. You have a way with words and I completely understand the way that you form them into poetry. B O D Y in unity is BODY. your words are music to my soul.
