finally

dear diary,

last night i continued my 2-year-long experiments on turning to my left. i tried and tried and tried, over these months, to figure out what to do with my body, to have smoother more energetic smaller/bigger faster/slower turns. and then, finally finally finally! i discovered (well, not really, i heard the instruction a few years ago, but of course, i didn't understand the "shorthand" at the time) what i could do with my legs my feet... omg it was a fantastic moment.

soul embrace

dear diary,

it was a normal night. i did not have any expectations other than being with friends, being in the embrace, and being in the music. yes i know that's asking a lot! but the truth is that i am blessed to have friends who make this possible, all. the. time...

in the middle of a set, i was no longer in the embrace of G$oia. no it was odd, a rare i-don't-know-how-to-call-it and i was taken aback.

i mentioned this to G$oia, that it was special, to which she asked, "in what way?" i struggled... and then, "everything was so good... and suddenly i felt that i was embracing a human soul." it was crazy i told her.

and then she revealed to me that she had just had a fight and was shaken.

i had embraced her soul.
