Four Simple Questions

  1. When did you stop dancing?
  2. When did you stop singing?
  3. When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
  4. When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?

"It is music and dancing that makes me at peace with the world...and at peace with myself."
