Aerial Alchemy

She was meant to have a castle. @ Turner Falls

In the last 2 weeks, 3 students (2 former and 1 I consider current) have graced me as an Instructor. They performed simple, unremarkable, everyday acts and, probably, forgot about them 5 minutes later. But they were not unremarkable. I've been turning the events that followed one of those acts over and over in my mind. I need to say something...but not yet. By chance, I stumbled on an IG post I had saved. At the time it was for the skill being performed but, maybe, it was meant for now. Jenn Bruyer () is awe inspiring- a phenomenal Aerialist, amazing instructor and wise beyond her years. Forget the video. Read the words.

We make a million choices every day... what to eat, how fast to drive, what to teach in class... but also, to be kind, to be generous, to have empathy, to listen. Make good choices. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I feel like I’m looking at my life as a big piece of choreography this week... what fits and makes something beautiful? What doesn’t fit but I keep holding onto? Why? What music is playing? Is it happy? Is it sad? Is it both? Time to practice what I preach... Simple is best. Less is more.
