Today at Folk Life, I saw four young male jugglers. One managed to get ten teenage boys to come up from the audience with no idea what they were volunteering for. Among the feats of daring they participated in was doing the can-can in front of fifty cheering strangers. I, too, laughed and shouted, clapped my hands. Having my true feelings can feel awkward, even excruciating, but can mean this too, unadulterated joy.
About Me
- Naomi S
- A few things I know for sure. That revolving doors make me nervous. That, sometimes, it takes courage to do the simplest things. That the moment in a theatre before the stage lights come on is exquisite. That poetry is often "one short step to the good ground (May Swenson)." That I love swimming anywhere but especially in swimming pools.
