Thalia jogged on her tiptoes and clapped her hands. “Eeeee! Typist is taking us to the ballet tonight!” Urania squinted while searching her memory for past ballet experiences. She really had to dig deep until she found a mouse, a nutcracker, and a yawning Typist. “It’s been a while.” Her brows arched.
Karen, I can say nothing short of “Bravo” for your inspired performance as a friend of Leon! Here’s the honest truth: I would have been inhibited, if not paralyzed, by self consciousness, a fear of looking “goofy,” and moreover having not a single clue how to move in a way suggestive of a lobster. By that I mean developing an interpretive sense of what actions, yours, would be met with recognition by your viewers.
And you nailed it! And to me you seemed to be enjoying yourself in the process. Delightful. Whenever I use “inspire” or forms thereof, I recall to myself that one original meaning is “the spirit within.” While originally used as a religious reference, inspire has also come to reference “filling someone with an urge to do something creative.” It seems Keon had exactly that effect! 😁
What joy all the way around! Especially on the umpteenth rainy day in succession in our corner of the world. I almost feel guilty that other areas of our nation - the world - are so parched.
Ballet Al fresco sounds delightful and I’ll be rooting for dry conditions tonight. I hope we’ll receive a report on the ballet in the near future. Another flavor of creativists.
So, Nia, ever planful, has her umbrella to take. Tal her point shoes? And Cal, ready to digest the program and eagerly share key points of the event I’ll bet. What fun for all.

Karen, awesome performance! I watched and thought, “Wait, is that... our Karen?” 👏
