Today outside the window the colorful leaves were swirling in the wind… and I thought of you….
Thank you for your perseverance. For many years, weeks, moments, you follow your path unchanged. And I know it is not easy… I am grateful to you for not giving up – despite the too difficult moments. Your perseverance and steadfastness shapes me too. I am gaining strength and strong thoughts to live my life courageously – just like you.
I am happy to have been able to accompany you on your balletic journey. And I am happy that I can continue to be close to you, that you often invite me into your artistic world of creativity and everyday ordinariness.
Lately I’ve been thinking about that day when I first noticed that fire in you… it was something I had never experienced before… I didn’t quite know how to protect that flame, how to shape it… Should I stoke it? Or leave it?… Ignore it, stop it?…. However, I know that I would not have been able to suppress it with any force, and I am happy that I did not even try. It was a unique experience to watch it burn invariably filling your heart.
For 25 years I have admired your passion, love, dedication and stepping boldly forward all the time. And even when various circumstances or people try to stop you, you persistently follow that indestructible fire in your heart.
And when I saw the colorful leaves outside the window today – I thought of you. The wind blows and shakes and jerks them, and they whirl and dance, as if not at all bothered by these adversities. Even more – as if using these adversities they want to show the world their inner, true beauty…
