My brother took these ballet pictures in my living room, as  

 I played around in the hand-sewn swan costume I had made.

"Schoolyard Leap"

One of a series of photos taken at a nearby 

schoolyard in my early twenties.

The great ballerina, Anna Pavlova, once said, 

"I do not think in words. My medium of expression is movement."

 Indeed, it is the spirit that moves us,  

. . . so run . . . 

                              . . . jump . . .  

                                                            . . . leap . . . 

                                                                                           . . . and soar . . . 

. . . for the world needs those places of respite where we can rise above hardships.
