To Terpsichore

I call to Terpsichore, great of grace, daughter of Zeus and wise Mnemosyne, beautiful goddess, lissome and lithe, merry-hearted muse of dance, giver of comfort and of bliss, we know you as we whirl and sway, we find you as the music finds us. Yours, O goddess, is joy in motion, yours is the rhythm of the form, yours the embodiment of song. Terpsichore, granter of delight I pray to you, goddess, I honor your gifts.

So, my school let us wear costumes today, and needless to say I took several selfies. (Btw, I’m Terpsichore, the Greek muse of dance. It seemed appropriate since I have taken ballet classes for like 11 years)
