And thus begins my posting about my obsession with words, especially those of the German variety for which there is no equivalent in English. What a beautiful emotion! What a perfect mot!
…because Schadenfreude is so last year…
A periodic table of the elements in my quest for beauty.
"We must ask of reality: how important is it, really? And: how important, really, is the Factual? Of course, we can’t disregard the factual; it has normative power. But it can never give us the kind of illumination, the ecstatic flash, from which Truth emerges."
- Werner Herzog

Except this is Providence. Hello 👋🏿 Providence!

(There are no camellias in this photo, but don’t let that little fact distract you from the truth which Muriel Barbery so succinctly ensnared. In other bons mots, “beauty shall save the world”).

Reaching back this Sunday into the realm of gold.

Ah, the gold old days of 2016 when my archless feat never stopped me from dervish dancing. (My money is on my hip being misrotated, comme d’habitude, under the flowing fabric). Ah, and the even older days of life under the proscenium, of rehearsal and class and always feeling like my body was learning what my soul was about: I miss that light. The studio is where I felt more challenged than in any classroom, where humility enveloped me, and yet where I felt the most at home. If I knew then what I know now, perhaps I’d have worried less about what an imperfect dancer I was and just danced. Perhaps I will.

Rest in Harmony, Miloš Forman, the director who conducted the transliteration of one of my favourite plays into one of my favourite films.
Excuse me sir, I know you are having dinner but I’m just going to squeeze myself next to you, if you don’t mind, while I ask the hostess to take a photo of me for Instagram because I failed to do so in the intimate picturesque space in which we actually ate; carry on

Thank you @farfetch and @tomenyc for a kaleidoscopic evening in celebration of the launch of your #whiteshirtproject 5 in support of @freedomforallfn fighting #humantrafficking and modern day slavery.
