expression

how do we find inner expression?

not smiles or frowns, but how do you show others what's inside of you?

sometimes it's food... or writing... or photographs... or blogs

I used to express myself through dance

I used to love to dance -

I took ballet, tap, jazz, and modern

my favorite being modern

modern dance can be risky to watch sometimes — as all theatre or performance art is — (not all suitable for young ones)
performance art is just that... performing an expression of the meaning behind the dance

if you have ever been in a play, or sang in public, or danced for others, then you know that sometimes when life is throwing you a curve ball (feeling ill... experiencing heartache... wallet bone dry) it may be hard to express that joyful dance or song when you don't feel so joyful

and that is where true talent lies... being able to express the feeling behind the piece... regardless of what you are doing in your personal life... however... your personal life is exactly what is driving that performance out of you... it's up to you to express yourself the best way you know how

but giving up is the easy way... so when you are feeling lousy... think of a better time in order for you to enjoy that moment, or day, or week, or month or year

the same for life... when it gets messy, don't forget your blessing

this movie is due out in the UK, but I'm sure it will be playing in the states too... someday

here's a contrast in expression, but how I love it so...

Both artists have recently passed this world into the next, and it just got me thinking (and reafirming) how I need to keep being authentic and let whatever is me shine too... to try to express myself the best way I know how

how do you express yourself?
