Talent may draw one close to one’s goals, effort will ensure it.

I rehearsed with a ballet master and a 16 year old dancer today. I felt great compassion and love to see the young dancer become a woman, an artist. To take the "old world" approach to constructing perfection in the rehearsal (choreographic) process, take it in stride, stand up and accept the hardship of perfection of technique, artistry, and repetition, and be able to create movement with commitment, graced my day. I find life is a blessing in it's fight to exist.
