Hola! Went to see the Alvin Ailey dance Co today in Berkely (courtesy of a good friend). It felt really good to see some awesome choreographed dance. (I've been hipsterfied and intellectualized for too long...So it was great to see some craftmanship and soul! I got inspired. There was this one piece titled "Dance Spirit". I reeeeeally loved it. (here's a sample below) In one part of it, while the woman is dancing, there's this version of Radiohead's "Everthing in it's right place"played with only strings. I really love that song. It was good to see people communicating passionately with their bodies...I was much more overjoyed by seeing this show than I'd like to admit...like a child. (thanks Dante ;-) Seeing the company perform again, at this time in my life..in Cali..near to grad time...man I really feel a push...to be free n make a real positive mark in this world. The whole time I watched I just had this feeling of yearning to be more free, to rise higher in my spirit, in this world, in my life, my art, in giving love, letting God use me more, in opening up n letting go. This blog is helping me go public, gradually (if i can ever get any followers. lol) I'm starting to take off and that feels good.
ok ok Check out the dances..
Look at this guy. Beeeuuutiful! Look how he rises up off the floor!

Those were both beautiful, Kelli. What a lovely thing to wake up to this morning. It's amazing what you get back when you surrender everything to God. I did that this morning. Thank you!...
