Your love...

"YOUR LOVE
HAS PASSED
THROUGH ME
LIKE LIGHT
THROUGH A
STAINED GLASS
WINDOW,
NOW ANYONE
I LET INSIDE
FALLS IN LOVE
WITH YOUR COLORS."

Dance...

Dance, when you're broken open.

Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.

Dance in the middle of the fighting.

Dance in your blood.

Dance when you're perfectly free.” 

― Rumi

Elvis Presley

Hidden language...

 Dance is the hidden language of the soul."

-Martha Graham

Martha Graham, Lamination by Barbara Morgan, 1935

 I have seen a performance by The Martha Graham Dance Company many years ago in Paris and it was incredible captivating and beautiful.

She was a modern dancer and choreographer whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. My uncle who was a modern dancer and choreographer himself has danced with and was influenced by her.

only as far as i seek can i go

only as deep as i look can i see

only as much as i dream can i be
