music teachers: i’m going to simplify the terminology for these teenagers so they’re not intimidated by a swarm of italian and french

dance teachers: if these 7 year olds don’t know it’s called a pas de bourrée pas de chat fouetté plié en deuxième coq au vin what’s the point

if you really loved me you wouldn’t call me “honey” or “babe” you’d call me “god-like Diomedes, master of the war-cry, breaker of horses”

“Daydreaming does not enjoy tremendous prestige in our culture, which tends to regard it as unproductive thought. Writers perhaps appreciate its importance better than most, since a fair amount of what they call work consists of little more than daydreaming edited. Yet anyone who reads for pleasure should prize it too, for what is reading a good book but a daydream at second hand? Unlike any other form of thought, daydreaming is its own reward. For regardless of the result (if any), the very process of daydreaming is pleasurable. And, I would guess, is probably a psychological necessity. For isn’t it in our daydreams that we acquire some sense of what we are about? Where we try on futures and practice our voices before committing ourselves to words or deeds? Daydreaming is where we go to cultivate the self, or, more likely, selves, out of the view and earshot of other people.” –Michael Pollan “A Place of My Own”
