A painter friend of mine recently looked at some of my photos and noted that almost all of my photos seemed simultaneously to convey emotional weight and uplift. Strangely, I had never noticed this. We are the last ones to know. Now I see what she means, and of course, it makes perfect sense being who I am, and doing what I do and have done, as a teacher, for so many years. These are just a smattering of photos. Soon I hope to find the time to get more of my photos up for you to enjoy.
Your path reminds me in some ways of mine as well: perhaps the readings I have had saying I spent 6 lives in the martial arts to prep for this one and what I’m doing also overlap with your past. On another front, I wonder what Lorenzo from the gymnastics gym in Philly you once took me to (thanks- it was important for me) has done?
Sensei, your life has blossomed like a lotus from its roots in an externally focused life in Philly and Abington to your taking a stand for the artistic expression of strength with grace versus winning meets in Gymnastics and surrendering your scholarship to dance, Aikido, more dance and the preservation and extension of F.M. Alexander’s breakthroughs you have indeed become a living treasure!
