Yes Erica,
people have shared their comments here with which i agree.
I was touched with our 'flight' experience . An image has flitted into me just now. As i'm wondering how i may convey what it is i enjoy so much in 'flying' people. There was a time in my childhood when flying kites was quite enchanting. Their smooth, delicate structure, bright with colors that became exuberant with the insistence of wind and assertion at the end of an equally delicate thread of string. There was something transcendent, a sentient being manipulating a material thing. A kite was an umbilical cord into finite sky, infinite space. There was felt within this context a clear, peculiar sense of friction, compression, velocity. An engaging discovery within this balance between probabilities of nature's physics, intention, and control fed my sensibilities. An unassuming umbilical to what lay underneath the play, was my personal exploration of how the cosmos works. It allowed a distinct empathy for flight that was kinesthetic. With this antennae i was in two places at once via the soaring object i simultaneously watched. If it crashed i felt it with more than just object sensations. It had a variety of personal meanings, which i felt responsible to keep the kite 'safe', beyond just maintaining the longevity of a toy.
Well i'm glad i just wrote for myself and you an understanding of my recent recurring images of kite flying. I imagine that you'll infer there are some parallels.
Curiosity fascinating
Empathy engaging
Interdependence intriguing
As you kissed me on the head it fell down into my heart.
How sweet
and refreshingly sentimental, ahhahaaa!
Hi Erica, I've sent a CD in the mail of the Pass the Dance you did with Nancy. Hopefully you got it today or will get it Saturday. Creating videos is new to me and I did it in a bit of a rush. Please feel free to let me know if it did not copy well and I will redo it. Practice makes better.
Thanks again for a fabulous 36th celebration.

Erica, thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU! What an amazing event that was. It was great to meet you and be in the presence of your radiance. Your passion and enthusiasm was infectious! What a beautiful smile you have! I have been dreaming of contact since leaving, and dancing lots, full of dancing and eager for more more more.
Erica,
Nice to meet you at Earthdance (Sun.) and to resonate with your lovely, fluid dancing. Also kudos and multi-dimensional appreciations of the fluidity of the entire CI36 event. What steller orchestration!
Now you have my email (I think). Hope to meet and dance sometime soon,
I am floored by how deeply grateful i am for you in this moment...My heart pours gratitude toward you for the offering of devotion you made in helping to create this event. My world is vastly richer as a result of my experience at CI36 and i'm giving you ample credit for that.
smiling toward you,
sarkis
