new year's reminders

NYE was spent dancing the night away with Girly at a loft party in DUMBO. It was here that I remembered I love to dance. It's something I haven't done for a very long while and something that makes me feel totally sexy, free and creative - essentials in my book. This was like reconnecting with an old lover, except without the drama and bitterness.

The St. Marks New Year's Day Marathon Reading reminded me why I fell in love with books as a child. It reminded me that entire worlds can be built with an economy of words. It reminded me of the indescribable energy that emanates from an audience. It reminded me why I continue to do what I do because sometimes that's so easy to forget.
