I believe that certain places 'call' you according to your particular 'memory' in the soul, so as such the resonanse is higher in some countries than others............those of us on the Tango path should certainly feel the 'vibes' strongest in Argentina, for the part of the soul that yearns when it hears the music, the lilting castellano, surely knows it is closest to home in B A....my thoughts, anyway. Sal, I get goosebumps every time I read your blog update - this is one of the times where I am really happy to say 'told you so!!' Beautiful words indeed in the blog – I had this discussion at some length many times over the years, ‘el duende’ – I don’t think we can adequately describe it in the english language – I tend to think of it as the place in the bottom of the soul that yearns for ‘home’ – It’s the part of the soul that resonates to something which stirs an ancient memory, be it a face, music, a scent, but it’s only ever an approximation for something which cannot be found on this earth.

It is not easy to hear a loved one say that they are leaving to pursue a dream on the other side of the world. It is even harder to let them go with so much love that you do not speak your fears even though you have them in your heart. I am blessed with a family that walk with me every minute of every day: as they bring up their beautiful children, as they drive to work, as they sleep at night. I am who I am, in part, because I have you: my precious ones. SC That my family is proud of me is one of the greatest gifts of all.

So, delighted that you have found your path, your through-line in the dance - am really proud and blown away by you too. And thanks to Carlos for loving you so well ...

Satisfaction in who you are and where you are. There is no greener grass, no accumulated sociological pressure to bend under, no old patterns to fall into. By moving abroad you've begun a whole new life and shed a burden you perhaps never realised you had when you were here. May your romance of life, love and tango continue unabated for a second lifetime! Congratulations Sally, you’ve found what many fail to. Satisfaction in who you are and where you are.

You have a very good blog. Tango has not been a part of my BsAs experience, but I follow it vicariously through your posts. There is indeed something very seductive about Buenos Aires.
