It gets easier and easier to cross the transitions. And let's face it - it's always an opportunity to recruit into the church of tango lol. I am also more and more "Milonga Mari".

My lives are still very separate which is a bit of a shame although part of me still enjoys the possessiveness of knowing that tango is only for me.Golondrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995557703870997544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-79574331523399909812009-07-14T19:34:37.252-07:002009-07-14T19:34:37.252-07:00Fantastic, honest post Mari!

Things are going to be different now.<br />As far as the real life stuff, working, shopping, missing tango...it gets easier, it gets calmer, it really does. You do have to integrate it all though or it can be hard.Elizabeth Brintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814965814308408209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-82205390855032663612009-07-07T23:19:36.408-07:002009-07-07T23:19:36.408-07:00Such an insightful post, Mari.

And it's not so much that you have to admit the outside you into the milonga, but that you invite milonga-Mari to visit more often in your "other" life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-5224943155600833782009-07-07T10:04:10.631-07:002009-07-07T10:04:10.631-07:00I often wonder why tango affects some people so po...I often wonder why tango affects some people so powerfully... And why is the 'tango connection' so strong with certain people and weak or non-existent with others? Not sure if it's necessarily to do with skill or experience even. Is it them? Me? The music? The moment?<br /><br />Or is it a little of all these, plus the fact that sometimes we find someone in whom the feelings for tango are similar to our own?<br /><br />And those who have experienced that connection continue to seek it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-51507490905536700722009-07-07T09:25:51.661-07:002009-07-07T09:25:51.661-07:00happyseaurchin: a very good analogy about movies. ...happyseaurchin: a very good analogy about movies. makes a lot of sense.
