Danielle Voirin’s Photo of the Day for 11.17.15

Life goes on in Paris.  Last night at the Théâtre du Ront Point, the Gallotta dance company performed their show My Rock, a trip through history of rock 'n' roll on a dance "enragé de liberté," mad with freedom.  When I heard Helter Skelter, tears filled my eyes.  I thought of the crowd at the Bataclan, and the girl from my first photo class in Paris who went that night, maybe to dance with such abandon.  Rock music never felt so intense, so cathartic, so needed.

    Wow! Dani, thank you for sharing your work and personal stories of the trauma of your city but also its healing. Thank you Paris for continuing to live freely and expressing joyfully and exuberantly expressing Joie de Vie!

    Presence. Engagement.
    Communication. Cooperation.

    As our awareness of all that we are
    and are yet to be
    expands into its fullness,
    a resonant moment extends
    returning us to the stillness within
    where all is already healed.

    As flow within a greater flow
    as fire within a greater fire
    as breath within a greater breath
    thus we stand
    taking care of ourselves and each other,
    each one and all.
    Give thanks.

    I've often felt a kind of catharsis with the right rock; I am grateful to know that you and others found that last night. As Lizzy said, this expression of life force in the photo is perfect.
