Day 3

Like Kristian, I have trouble remembering my thoughts long enough to record them. They're usually interesting, too. Well, at least I think so. Anyway, what I do remember about the thoughts I had during class on Thursday was that I was trying to figure out why I am taking this class. Of course there are the answers that many of us gave, such as "Francis was teaching" and "I like dance or movement." Geez, I can't even remember the third reason I gave for taking this class. My point is, though these are true reasons, I want to figure out a deeper reason for why I am taking class. This isn't only for the fact that it is a part of our assignment, but I really want to be able to use something I learn in my life outside of the 25 or so class meetings. I haven't been able to reach any conclusion yet, but I do hope it is more than just learning a different way to move my body. I mean we're learning dance that has a religious background, a deeper, spiritual meaning. I want to respect that and incorporate part of that aspect into my life. I'm not sure how yet, but if it comes to me I'll let you know.
