And I've just finished writing a post that I hope will help you a little bit as you make the trip here and dance the next part of yours! I sort of wrote it for you... hope that's ok. From one adventurer to another, suerte. SC Hey Psyche,

Yes we sure are all on the same journey. And I’ve just finished writing a post that I hope will help you a little bit as you make the trip here and dance the next part of yours! I sort of wrote it for you… hope that’s ok.

From one adventurer to another, suerte. SC

It made me cry. My own class was like this this week. A few days ago I was flying, then I landed again with a nasty bump. I want too much to do everything perfectly - that's just my nature, sadly - and when it's just not working it's hard to remember that it's still progress. But reading this reminds me that we're all on the same journey, with the same ups and downs, and I feel less alone. And it reminds me that the reason we all dance has nothing to do with technical perfection, but is something which is always available to us, if we are open to it, and which makes all the work (and tears of frustration) worthwhile. Thank you. And oh! Those bloody back sacadas! So true! It made me cry. My own class was like this this week. A few days ago I was flying, then I landed again with a nasty bump.

I am going to translate it for Carlos and I know he will be very moved. It is a beautiful moment that you write about, and quite the most lovely comment to come home to read. Thank you.

I'm half Argentine/ half French born and raised in the US. I've always been curious about my Argentine heritage and long to visit and experience my culture. The reason I'm commenting today is seeing the picture of you and Carlos almost brought tears to my eyes. And your sentiment about longing to dance in his arms in your 80's...my Abuela and Abuelo are just entering their 80's and a couple years ago I asked them to dance for me. In my life I had yet to see them dance and there in the living room to a CD of Carlos Gardel, they moved into the dance so naturally and so simply that it nearly broke my heart. They didn't appear to be thinking about anything just literally moving as one as naturally as one breaths in and out. I truly hope you and your Carlos have those same moments in your 80's and that someone has the gift of seeing it and being awash in it as I did. Thank you for sharing this journey.

I will read your post again and again--I know that much. And the photos made me smile, and nod, and then cry at the same time (that last photo got me). I loved seeing you and Carlos together. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. sallycat,

Not sure when, but the tango scene is in the second part and will probably be mercifully short. As for continuing on, my wife assures me that considering any other course will have dire consequences.
