Yeah...
I wasn't sure if this would fly, but when I've brought up one of my issues with others I find there are so many people keeping silent. You'd never know. It kinda hit home at Burningman one year after seeing the fabric arealist class, and wanting to join but not. Later sitting in the dust a strong looking extreemly nice woman began talking with me, she asked what i did and ironically i said i was a dancer, it's the truth. She said 'me too'....we spoke of dancing, areal arts and passion...she invited me to the next days class....and sadly i mentioned my back. she said she had the same as me. I was so surprised, but it made me smile inside. because we had both been told to stop dancing...but agreed it is what makes life sweet.
How many people struggle with art, pain and passion? Social stigma and love? complicated back up systems and a yearning for freedom?
