Some individuals respond to patterns and possess the ability to infuse those images into dance or music. Ask me next time we meet about a workshop in early 2000 at the Art Museum- dancing with art.

It's hard to believe another year is about to turn the page towards a new set of chapters. As we close this year, allow me to reflect on December 2025~ "Twas the night before Christmas when all through the peak, not a creature was stirring. Well, not that you'd see.
