We are Buddha-in-training, and have our blissful moments of enlightenment on the dance floor.

But I have also gotten used to saying, "this is how I feel" and that's what the blog is for. I am accountable for my words. And even though I'm not a fan of all of his writing, I do follow Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements to the best of my ability. <br /><br />I have learned so much, as a dancer and a writer, by reading the books and blogs (like your blogs, for example) of other dancers, that I truly believe that sharing these experiences honestly, builds connections and communities.Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960763038363579526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-72567033702161525722010-04-25T06:55:37.490-07:002010-04-25T06:55:37.490-07:00I know exactly what you mean, writing about people...I know exactly what you mean, writing about people you know is like dancing on eggs. The way I get around it is to tell people "if I say anything that offends you, please tell me as I do not mean to offend"<br />I have had one or two rewrites, fotinately few and have never yet lost a friend, even though I can be controversial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-12493310678969241512010-04-23T15:12:05.389-07:002010-04-23T15:12:05.389-07:00Listen darling:
