Sitting in downtown Portland (seems a lifetime ago)
at the bus stop, I sat next to a gentleman, holding a cane.
At first, he said nothing, and then he asked me where I
was from. He told me how he had met his wife in Japan.
He told me they had a daughter (who was all grown up
now, and a lawyer). He told me that his wife had been a
ballerina, and he told me that when his daughter was
little, he would dance with her by having her stand on
top of his feet. I love that story for many reasons, one of
them being it was about dance. I'm not a dancer (except
alone in my room, but please don't tell anyone) but I love
almost everything about dance. I still remember coming
home to be in a friend's wedding, and during the reception,
I was able to get my dad to dance one song with me...
it made me so happy!

"You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last."
