The best part of writing articles for a local magazine is that moment when I arrive. And even though I may have driven by the location many times, this is the moment of discovery – new place/new person. Park the car, turn the ignition, open and close the driver’s door, step out, take that first step.
And experience this place for the first time in this way. As an observer, an absorber, an eventually a storyteller.
What jewel will I find within the walls? What gem of wisdom will I hear from my interviewee?
Recently, when I interviewed a dance instructor, something she said struck a chord with me – the arts are about making a connection … to myself. Maybe that’s why I write. To stay connect to me.
To my reactions, my impressions, my experience. What resonates with my life.
