I feel like I'm on a roll of revelation or something lately. I was thinking about visualizing and imaging the possible and I even have a story to go with it! As part of the Chinese Dance Syllabus exam this year, I have to do all kinds of unnatural contortions and get marked! I love stretching my body to its limits. There's this one move that I'm really proud to have worked toward this year. I'm at the barre and I swing my leg back and lift my hand up and look back trying to connect my foot with my hand above my head. I always felt that there was no way I could get my back to bend enough, but it was really in the rotation of the hip socket. All I did one day was look at myself in the mirror as I was doing it and suddenly my back was slightly turned and my hip was open. A minor adjustment or angle makes such a difference in life. It all has to do with how we see.

Yes, thanks Red, I'll “be whatever I want to be.” That's an interesting closing.
