Was exhausting but wonderful. My feet have also declared that I am to wear flats tomorrow (but oh, my beautiful Poet Brown boots, how I love you).
Visited St. Scho, walked around just to take in how much everything has changed, how some things sort of still feel the same. I think the best line was Hope
coffeebased saying something to the effect of: "I love that look of surprise? shock? on your face whenever you realize the change." Inaccurate wording, but yes.
So much has changed, but important things, like seeing my piano teacher again (she doesn't look any different at all) and talking to her and catching up - these things stayed the same.
We had St. Cecilia's Hall all to ourselves for about two and a half good hours. Just me, Kam
slpwlkngdreamer and Hope, singing Broadway songs and classical pieces (Hope, really, I never had the voice or training for it) and then bits of this and that.
I did improv and danced bare-footed to Faure's "Pavane" and Vienna's "Abound", while Hope took pictures with her wonderful camera. Kam's hands are also beautiful, they move like a Flamenco dancer's. One day, one day.
Should be tttp (too tired to post), by I just wanted to put this in writing.
I cried a little inside. I stood at the egde of the stage and looked out into a red wave, the rows of seats climbing higher and higher like a tidal wave.
Yes. Yes. Today was a good day.
