last night, during moving uchi komi, i told my students,
"guys, you are saving a piece of yourself. the attack is absolute and complete. when you go in, you must offer all of yourself. you must accept defeat in every attack. in every attack, there should be a defining moment, the time when you know someone is going to win BIG. you just don't know who yet."
practice resumed. they looked spectacular. bodies flew all over the mat. smiles everywhere.

sometimes, when everything is just right, when i submit completely to the music, the dance, the connection, when i don't save a piece of myself, i move with tears in my eyes. when this happen, lomyl kisses me lightly and breathes for me, and steadies my spirit.

the other day, i wondered out loud to a tango girlfriend if guys have / think about / talk about tango revelations as we seem to do, often... and she replied, dryly, that she thought it was highly unlikely. it makes me (very) happy to hear otherwise.
