Super glue.
Swan Lake is back.
And just in time to glue yourself back together after the holidays.
On the flight home I sat next to a man who grilled the pilot in the aisle seat until the latter opened up his copy of the new Harry Potter book. I have come to understand that landing a plane is like playing the drums, all hands lifting and dropping at the right time while feet and ears follow a rythm.
But I have known for some time that playing the drums is about toes and fingers too.
The ballet explains all of this, don't you see? landing gear, trap sets, Tendue, sur le coup de pie, (French spelling abilities aside) you learn to curve your arm for a drop of water and it tells the truth, and you can even be taught to keep yourself from getting dizzy in the turning. No wonder we send little girls as soon as they can stand still; it is good to know what your arms are doing and how to keep from falling down when things fall apart.
Find your Bill Withers record and put it on. That works even if your eyes are closed: we have to stick together.
