Rainy Day Blues

You ever have one of those moments that just pierces you with is beauty and stains in a way that defines you beyond all recognition? In an eye's blink you see all that you are and are not at the same time and it wounds you deeply. Ever had that happen?

Yesterday I saw something that did that to me and I am still reeling from the fall out. I watch a dance piece that Mia Michaels choreographed at Kelley's urging (it is on her myspace) and it was so…I do not think I have words for it. This morning I watched the expanded version and say people's reactions to this piece and it moved me so deeply that I actually fell of myself.

I was wounded because she and the two dancers accomplished in those few moments what I have longed to do, dreamed about and been haunted by in so many ways. It goes beyond just the medium of dance and choreography, but to my core. I want to be doing things in my life that effect people that way. Wound them even, if it means they heal better than they came in.

So I am sitting here, looking out the window asking myself the question…"What Now, Alycia…what now?
