When you feel it inside...

Again I had that feeling, that typical weightless, blankness very much close to the 'suspended from a hook, ready to take in all that comes' type of feeling.. just that this time I was standing back-stage, waiting for our announcement. All my dance partners were holding hands, nervous and exited. Even I was, but there was also a kind of "still", a sort of a "silence" and that was surprising me. I was sure, I had felt the same before, yet couldn't figure it out at that moment.

Our name was announced and we all performed with all smiles and enthusiasm. After the last pose we all bowed and started walking back towards the wings. That was when I actually started realising what it meant.

I was appeased! I had always been - after every performance in school, university, I had felt that "High". This time I was grown up enough to understand it! I was pleased within and that was making everything else silent in me! I was just happy to Be!
