Antithesis:Open letter to "L"

I just returned from a Paul Taylor Dance Company offering at our local theater venue.  The program included three long selections: Diggity, Piazzolla Caldera, and the one that made me write to you called Promethean Fire.  They danced to J S Bach and the famous Tocatta & Fugue in D minor and two other Bach pieces.

I saw you on stage, I saw you joyous, and free and trusting. I saw you unafraid and leaping from floor to human arms and being lifted higher and higher. I saw your vulnerability. No hiding in the wings, you were fully taking over the stage.

I saw you at the end of your journey, completely healed from all human suffering. I saw you in complete balance with your core elements : body, mind, feelings and sense of purpose.  You probably are thinking I'm crazy, but I swear nothing was more real in my experience tonight as to witness pure freedom and unabashed joy. Here is a link to the company performing it two years ago.  It might be hard to imagine how my thoughts brought you center stage, but it did.  It was a magical night, and I dared to imagine you, your soul being transformed.

I had to share my thoughts, and hopes and dreams.  You're one special cosmic ray of light.
