As I listen, allowing the music to nourish
an eternal thirst in my soul,
I am
struck by the power of art,
crossing the boundaries of culture
as well
as the boundaries of my own ego,
it's as if the deepest love existing has invaded my heart.
And then,
as I begin to dance,
my image of the world becomes lyrical and rhythmic,
time no longer exists
or at least no longer retains it previous meaning,
and in these moments,
all bridges
are complete.
