To Dance Or Not To Dance - In Ballet Or Pointe Shoes

Students often used to ask me “should I pursue dance as a career?” My first thought was always - “if you can live without dance, do something else. If you can’t, then pursue it”.

Sometimes Dance just doesn’t let go! It may not be the practical choice for you. Yet it just doesn’t go away.

If you’re young, I would say dance now, because it is a physical training that needs to be done while you’re young. Especially ballet. That doesn’t mean flunk high school or anything, but I know that grades can be re-created at a community college, and an academic career can ensue from there. However, the physical ability that a younger person has is not there later.

Two Poems - Man On Fire; If I Walked With You In The Garden

Man on Fire

Red flames descend from the sky,
Burning into the depths of his eyes,
And crackle as they engulf his hair,
In tongues of fire.

The eyes, the eyes, stare out in
Placid indifference, while all around
Tongues of flame lick at the very air
Combusting in the night.

No stars here; no limned moon;
No serene reflections on the fiery
Pools below; only fire and burning,
And passion sleeping in those lidded eyes.

Saint or madman? Artist or lunatic?
Does it matter to a man on fire?
Can mere words express the desire
That fanned the flames into a conflagration,

Gamble Online - Winning Attitude Equals A Winner

If you’re going to gamble online, it’s a whole lot more fun if you have a plan for winning. You can spend a lot of time and waste a lot of money on guides and books which will detail tactics and strategies for various online casino games, but all of them are useless without the one underlying ingredient necessary for a successful online player: This element spans all games and works at all sites.

Wait Until You Hear How Cancer Affects Relationships

Cancer patients are at a risk of losing more than their health. Their romantic relationships go through a hard time and eventually go up in smokes. It is sad to hear confessions from victims whose marriage collapsed due to the uninvited disease. Cancer affects relationships mainly in a negative way. The marriages do not break down due to infidelity or lack of passion but due to cancer. This is the time many patients need comfort and love from their spouses. Mary one of the cancer patients explains what happened when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. The doctor in the room ordered her husband to give her a hug since she needed a shoulder to lean on. Amazingly her husband moved his chair away from her with disgust.

Songwriting Zen - Does Total Originality Exist?

Look at the music industry at the moment.

There are genres, sub-genres and sub-sub-genres all trying to find some originality in the music, and while there is interesting stuff coming out at the moment what makes it interesting are the different layers and textures on offer not the sounds themselves.

All I’m trying to point out is that the chances of doing something completely original are very small, but not impossible. If you do come up with something completely original then congratulations to you. But if not, don’t worry.

Great Halloween Games

Here is a great excuse for grown ups to play hide and seek, and could be used during Halloween if you are throwing a Goblins and Ghouls Halloween party. One person is selected as the witch and goes off to hide while others close their eyes. After about 5 minutes the witch seekers set off to find witchy… all in total darkness which adds to the eerie atmosphere. As they search in the darkness they are each allowed to ask twice ‘Where are you witch?’.

A Mind Muted

A cold evening and somehow the noise has died down. I find my way up to the top of my apartment for no particular reason. The day was good.

The breeze was strong, yet somehow it slowed down, as if in a mark of respect to me it seems to have bowed to me. It’s not gushing any more, just flows down gently singing a soothing note and cool just enough to send surprising a chill down me now and again.
