Words.

Words are important to me... 

sometimes the beauty of the way words are arranged is so overpowering, I have to stop and repeat them in my mind, write them down, sing them, dance them.  I can't listen to songs without hearing the words and the meanings they intend, which... sometimes can be a bit burdensome, and sometimes it makes me want to press repeat over and over again.  When Scripture resonates with me, I'm compelled to simply rewrite it, to inscribe its truth once again, hoping to write it on my heart and mind as it comes out of my pen. I love the arranging of words - the perfect combination of well-placed words in a poem or lyric, or arranging them myself in order to demonstrate something important... to read well-written words, to hear the words sung in the instruments of music... I love the words exchanged between people who care about each other - discussions about things that matter, conversations that spur on and encourage, lift up and repair, bless and send, share and invite.  In choreography, there are words.  There are words I am trying to tell you through each movement, through the emotion they create.  There are words spoken by others that I want you to know and experience.  There are words spoken through the combination of movement and music that I don't even know, words only you understood when you saw.  There are words that I want to say as I create that only some will know - the choreographer, the dancer, the Creator.  And I think whatever comes my way - profession, location, kaleidoscope community - words will always be important.
