1983ish me with 50 yards of silk
I was lucky enough to dance Loie's and Isadora's dances

Lucky enough to see Mary and Judith perform, and take classes from them. They had stature, baby.

It has taken me years of struggle, hard work, and research
to learn to make one simple gesture,
and I know enough about the art of writing
to realize that it would take as many years
of concentrated effort to write
one simple, beautiful sentence.  
~ Isadora Duncan
You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you.
