it is, it is for me but not in the way you have said

It took a while to understand

the path is just different for some of us

a continuum, of practice, study

it does not land, rarely arrives

but, i desire still

fully accepting of this hovering

it is here — where we meet, how we meet

how we negotiate our complexity

thank you for those who made it.  It was an amazing journey to collaborating with amazing movers. I was so moved by Val and Chit’s vision and bringing many artistry on stage. This was tremendous experience for me as a mover, and proud and humbling to be a part of.

Thank you, Val. Thank you, Chit.

Masanari, 3/7/22
