This man's movements were as vibrant and dynamic as the clothes he wore.
A man who lived with dance came from a country poorer than mine.
As I danced behind him, I realized how stoic my movements were.
Something is awakened.
My breathing becomes that of an animal
I am slipping between the borders of civilization and something primal.
As hard as the sweat tries to cool my face, I feel a burning energy
as the drums beckon the spirits to appear.
It’s as though my inner animals are trying to shatter the castle walls I have built
upon the foundations of manners, modesty, sobriety, and withdrawal from socialization.
They had never fought so desperately as when I was trying to mimic his movements. This man of light is trying to help me find the happiness I had tucked away years ago,
fearing ridicule from peers. There was no need to be ridiculed.
No one is here to judge me.
No reason to be embarrassed. Landmark helped me find confidence, a friend helped me find courage,
but this man gave me the one thing this society and my religion
gave me barely a microgram of.
This man was giving us the gift of joy
Das Gedicht wurde im September 2008 von einem Studenten des Lancmark College, Putney Vermont geschrieben nach der Tanzklasse bei Caro. Es drückt die tiefe Freude aus, die viele dank Caros Untericht empfinden.
