"my greatest gift to you / is a dance floor / free of insecurity."

It's very comforting to be who you want to be.

We did this exercise in my Modern Dance I class today - our instructor just turned on Moonlight Sonata, turned off the lights (there are wall-to-wall windows), and told us we could just react to the music and dance however we wanted. It's amazing how free you feel when you know for certain nobody is watching you, because they were expressly told not to (and wrapped in their own little dance world.

I definitely love this prof essor, she's tough but genuinely wants us to excel and reach outside ourselves AND treat ourselves well and be good.

I could meet ordinary people but these are the kind I do meet.

And y'know, I guess I just feel very taken care of. Like when people feed me haha; today I ate only a sandwich ans some pineapple, until just now, when my friend brought me dinner leftovers (the club we're in, Bhakti Yoga, always has free vegetarian dinner afterwards) because I had to work and couldn't come to the meeting. So good!

And I'm super stressed by handling and in turn, assisting in the lives and jobs and livelyhoods and good-days of so many people.. but I kind of like it. Because everything just always seems to balance out so nicely in a day or two. And sometimes I feel like I'm making up for being so lucky.
