The winding key,
Sets the wheel in motion-
Notes of a free quality
Cause the dancer to turn,
Her arms outstretched,
Her smile placid.
She is fragile beauty,
And shares herself with others.
She knows nothing of freedom;
Her circled steps repeat.
Beckoned at will
She dances to the world.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
