To boldly give

18/10/2014

Though words may woo she will not be fooled
By charm and pictures hollow
Second to none she was born as one
And as one she shall remain

Substance of stem she has uncovered
Thankful to roots from which it came
She gives of herself without restraint
No gain nor agenda sought

Some reach to take, to use and dilute
Yet her dare to boldness soars
Yields to adventure, fervour, fullness
Alluring with zest untamed

To offer fair words when hands are held
Is a liberty unpossessed
To give without expectation
A trail he hath yet to tread

For until he learns where lack resides
With knowledge of strengths stand tall
True affection will his never be
Nor stillness within his soul

Keone & Mari dance. Smart, sweet and skilled.

Don't you worry about a thing -Ridiculous Talent

4/4/2014

Faster Higher Stronger for an Olympics inspired gala Hertfordshires Five Gold Rings.

Jacob Collier

PURE EXCELLENT TALENT.

Mental, physical, psycological and emotional dividends....

"Being a dancer isn’t all rainbows. Learning to dance well takes years of hard work and there’s typically no pot of gold awaiting you, either – sore, callused feet are more likely.
Still, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how lucky you are. There are plenty of benefits to being a dancer.
We hope you’ll do a jig when you read these lucky seven:

1. Dancers move with health and confidence.Dancing helps keep you physically fit and healthy. Dance is good for your heart, lungs, and bones. It’s a fun way to stay active while increasing your strength, stamina, and flexibility. In addition, dancing encourages good posture, body awareness and control that, even as you age, can and will benefit you. All of these things come together in a dancer to give him/her a physical confidence that others can spot and recognize. “You’re a dancer, I could tell.”

2. Dancing helps you keep your wits.Two well-publicized studies concluded that dancing is the only physical activity to reduce your chances of dementia in the way that cognitive activities do. Dance requires you to use multiple parts of your brain at the same time. No matter your age, this increased brain power improves your mental sharpness and agility, and can even increase your attention span.

3. Dancing gives return on self-investment.Dance keeps you in touch with your body, which is healing all by itself in a couch potato culture. Dance also helps you connect with your mind, emotions, and spirit. The practice of dance is an investment in yourself that can reduce stress, improve your mental well-being, and give you an outlet for self-expression.

4. Dance teaches survival skills.Dancing builds resilience and determination because, well, dance is hard! You learn to keep trying despite failed attempts, keep going when things don’t go as planned, and yes, occasionally grit your teeth through a bit of pain. Dance also gives you plenty of chances to be resourceful and a creative thinker, especially if dance is your chosen career.

5. Never. Stop. Growing.Dancing teaches you to keep going but you also learn that a person never stops growing. Every step you ascend on the stairway of dance, lights the way to more. There’s always somewhere to go; more goals to accomplish or details to master. This endless climb is also quite humbling… bonus!

6. All you really need to know, you learned in dance class.Commitment, communication skills, passion, perseverance, the ability to take and respond to constructive (or not-so constructive) criticism and, you bet, that slice of humble pie, are just a few of the life skills dancing develops in its lifetime pupils. There’s not much you need to know in life that you haven’t already learned in a dance class.

7. As a dancer, you become part of a bigger picture.Dancers build lasting memories and friendships with one another. Maybe it’s the work or long hours together, or maybe it’s because you’ve each given so much of yourself, but it always happens. Wherever you go, when you spot that other dancer in the room (and you will), you’ll know you have something in common. That shared experience is part of a rich history of tradition and innovation that unites dancers all over the world. And, because dance is tied deeply to the roots of our communities and cultures, dance builds awareness and appreciation of the differences and similarities between people. This makes you a better citizen of the world.

So, count your lucky charms, dancer. You are all kinds of awesome!"

He wished me beauty, music, poetry and love

25/2/2014

A man once wished for me beauty, music, poetry and love.
It was what I would wish though thought not all may arrive.

A time ago I scrawled my frustration, the lack of gold, of sterling forthright men.
For they would swarm around like butterflies, flittering and flattering, with charming
Chatter their words would flutter, but words fall flatter when lacking true intent.

I'd ponder if one would ever pierce through the silk,
See the depth, venture deeper, see the true shades and ilk.

If the female dream were wrapped up in eloquently written fiction.
If life- without music and sumptuous country scenes,
Would it satisfy the heart's yearnings for breath-taking love, all-enveloping,
Heart-stopping, that... 'other' love.

Beauty, music, poetry and love shall continue to drive us.
Where they lead is not set, we'll just have to keep venturing and see.

To hold steadfast

13/2/2014

To hold steadfast

Lingering kisses, lasting looks.
His bed, her head, tumultuous.
Subtle yet seeps, unknown in present eye
The affects that wreck, slowly tearing the heart.
Her conscience bewitched? or just beguiled?...

As an opal changes colour, slowly, almost unnoticed,
So too were her minds musings raveled up in impulses,
Yielding to a counter eye, desire and strive.
To be present, to notice, to act from root of truth-
But a youthful quest with a feeble prospect?...

Cyclical, swaying, nostalgic memory reverberates.
Guilt, frustration, saddened weary recollections.
Is one powerless to hold steadfast the things of
Treasure we hold dear? or just subject to revolve from
Self assurance in lack, needing others to cast clear?...

Still, she arrives a full circle with some clarity and comprehension,
Stronger in what was once longed for.
For through the shade and places of haze
The treasure appears more real with value renewed.

Oh to be

Oh to step out onto the lake
Feel the mist surround your ankles
With a deep breath intake

Oh to let the wind sweep beneath your arms
To smell the crisp fresh dew of the dawning air

To be without care just curiosity
To walk with weightlessness
Just simply be
