Dancing, Living. Mine, yours, ours

Hello all,
To refrain from using too many explicit words, I will just say that I can hardly ________ believe my time here is going by so _____ fast. Holy ______!!!! (Ok, maybe I should have just used them anyways...) But yea, wow. Friday marks just two short little weeks until I am transplanted back in Colorado, USA. I am.... Excited, to say the least... But, thats not the intention of this entry. The intention is this: movement.
I came across a quote just now that said "move the way you want to live". Y me gusta. We are all movers. I dance. That is my movement. Recently, my little dance workshop showed a portion of the dance we have been working on. We performed it as a part of the other workshops in this arts center called the Balmeceda that does free artsy workshops for whoever wants to join. Before the little performance, we met up and warmed up and then held hands in a circle for a little pre-stage chat lead by the great Instructor of the workshop, Nelson. He said some really nice words and expressed his gratitude for our participation, etc... He then opened up the dialogue to us to invite any comentairy we had as well. I expressed my thanks for the companionship of my fellow dancers, the direction of Nelson, and the wonderful oportunity it has been to dance together. Others expressed the same, and thanked Nelson for his "improvisation for creation" instructing technique.
Some words of his I will share- Dancing is just an expression of your personality, and we all have different and distinct personalities. This is why I (he) focus so much on improvisation because it is really just a self-exploration.
His words are amongst the many that I have recieved about dance and its relation to life and how we live and move inside of it. From Gabe Masson (another excellent instructor of mine)talking about "mistakes" was something along the lines of how we never really make them, rather we conflict our intentions. And if intentions are what guide us, then we have to go for it and follow those that are true to us. Wrong foot, wrong turn wrong move... Whatever. If I Intended to do That foot, that way, that turn... then thats it. Thats right, thats ok. That is correct.
Cool things Ive seen/heard/read/thought about lately...
ººº"All experiences will come. You just have to learn how to wait for them" And then the modification "All experiences will come. You just have to learn how to Look for them."
---A girl asked me if I had a "prince charming" waiting for me back home and my reply was "maybe. Maybe I do and just don´t know it yet". All in good timing.
ºººEverything I do, see, feel and experience is because I need to. Because it is and already has been within me, and each new day brings another part of me out and forth.
ºººOur bodies are just reflections of our experiences. Our eyes, laughs and expressions are the stories.
ººº"Those are some good people, Celine"- Peter.
ºººWatching the sun rise on my right and the moon set on my left as a bird´s shadow is drawn over the scattered reflection on the sea, "this is incredible".
ººº"If you didn´t trust yourself, you wouldn´t be here" and "So just LOVE the person you are next to"- Fiarella
ºººWE are bigger than our countries. Family and Friendship are bigger than time and space.
ººº Just enjoy everything. All the time.
So, thats where Im at. Just riding it out, moving, loving (and studying!) everything. Time is just time. It will not control me and I will not attempt to control it. As we cannot control the sea, nor the sky. I will live. Amongst, underneath, above and through all. And dance. Our dance, your dance and mine. And I will live. Our life, your life and mine.
And I will see so many of you very soon!
chau chau!
