As with all sacred rites, the beginning of class is beautiful to watch. The dancers may straggle in and mill about, but they eventually assume,w ith frighteningly formal rigor, their customary place at the barre or on the floor. If a principal dancer walks in, they automatically shift places to give the star the center spot facing the mirror. Of such beliefs and traditions are rituals made. It's like going to church. We rarely question why we go to church, and we don't expect concrete answers when we do . We just know it feeds our spirit somehow and so we do it.
A lot of habitually crative people have preparation rituals linked to the settingi n which they choose to start their day. But putting themselves into that environment, they begin their creative day. - Twyla Tharp - "the Creative Habit"
Today's word: "God made me, so I am good."
