In my last studio session, a spontaneous dance review of the year came about.
2024
I have stretched, and sometimes overstretched myself
I have grown beyond myself,
stood on my head
danced on anyway
was the master of my life stage
until I was on the ground, resting
and had to learn to give up control.
I was disabled, I collapsed inside myself
and slipped unnoticed into the same hole
from where there is only free fall.
I learned to fly, laughed and cried a lot
no longer wanted to expose myself
I took the hands that were held out to me,
who guided me, who supported me
and cared for me.
have been able to forge tender, intimate new friendships
and continue and revive old ones.
I was self-conscious and free at the same time
was flooded with beauty and love
with hope
was then home again and yet so foreign.
No one I know personally has died
but there was war every day. Violence every day.
I make peace with you. I dance with you. dear life.
Thank you 2024.
