vulnerability
a weakness i wanted to share with you
i do not go far enough
i do not even push that much
when i create
i am always safe
there are words that i don’t dare put together
dances that i never take up a level
then up a level
then up a level
i have never dedicated my life to the studio
i take courageous chances
and i break through further
than i thought possible
for my life
further than any family member has been
but i am scared to really give myself over
completely
to anything
or anyone
In our life,
we’re artists,
everywhere is home,
everyone is family
i take the moments day by day
trying to dare myself off the cliff
i meditate on the words of my mentors
2 possibilities:
A safety net appears
Or you sprout wings and fly
until that time
and certainly long after
you are the energy behind my courage
your absence sets your spirit free
much stronger
much purer
and all encompassing
wherever you are,
and in hopes to see you once again,
you allow me to pick up my chisel
and continue carving away
up one more level

This request is for Audrey’s best friend. These are my favorite, because it truly is what this project is about. The two are “riding the current of the universe on separate planets” but, a thought like this reaches across oceans…
THANKS for allowing me to be a medium for your friendship!!!
