Le-Coq

 When you throw a stone far enough...

...it goes around the world and hits you at the back of your head. 

At least, this is how it felt like yesterday when I got my ACCEPTANCE INTO ECOLE JACQUES LECOQ!!!!!! PARIS HERE I COME

I'll blog all about it. Because the classes will be in French. And I'll need to write English to keep me sane. 

I'm so pumped about the future, and I'm so excited for the future me. For the first time in my life though, I'm a tiny bit afraid - that I'll change. That I'll lose... this. I've always been ok with change. But you know what? Today, I'm happy with who I am. Which is pretty fucking awesome.

In other news, Public Pool and Pyros at the Magnet retired today (3/26). For one beautiful moment in time, everyone in the theater got on their feet for a standing ovation, and we drunk it all in. It's the end of an era.

For Christelle Brouck

  I knew who you were when we first met. I was in shoes, street shoes, and you told me later that you thought I danced jerkily and that was okay because jerky was a style in and as of itself, but I wore tango shoes the next time and you were drunk and you thought holy moly this guy can dance smooth. You laughed a lot in our dances, and you said that you had no idea what your feet were doing, and I said me neither. That made you laugh harder. I asked you if you had done something to have your chakras re-aligned, and you smiled in that way you do and you said that you knew I got it. That made me feel connected and spiritually knowledgeable even though I had no idea what it meant to align chakras. You said it felt like it had been helicoptering around and when it came home you felt like you'd found you, and I smiled and said I understood. We had these misunderstandings and projections on each other but I can't seem to find the strength to remember or write them down. After you wer...

Asie en Italie

 It's terrifying to see two Asian kids grinning at you across the street, flossing their hips in tandem Maybe they know something I don't. So I crossed the street and sat down by the tree next to them for some brunch. The two kids seemed happy, mostly fooling around and playing with each other.  When all of a sudden, an older lady (mom?) came over and started yelling at the younger boy. He looked mortified, confused, and was guiltily trying to hang on to the sense of joy he still had earlier. And the older boy just went over to hug the older lady.  A hug was all it took. They conversed a little more, before the lady left. The older boy sat down, exhausted, while the younger boy played with his fingers. These Asian boys are on to something.

Dying twice

 It seized me from the inside and the outside my whole body trembling lines were added and then more between  this world and the next breath made no sense the air was within and without I was lost so it seized me and I allowed it I fell backwards  with a sigh eyes open or shut? something kissed me and emptied me  of my breath of everything the lines flooded in to form a ladder into infinity of which I was at the bottom gazing up yearning then a powerful presence on top suffocating, milking, birthing and then I was left wanting staring through the cages at children trapped in pipes The message was clear; not enough effort to unlock my childhood ~ I wanted another ~ It seized me again I didn't allow it Held my ground held my breath within and stared down the goblin it refused to budge neither did I My shaman was whispering good, good what did good mean did it matter? I am here and I fight for my breath until the goblin wavered his red eyes glinting shimmered and got su...
