Allemande in the living room

I was thinking about slow dancing last night, and how, in the past, as an observer and sometime participant, it never made sense to me. The moving cuddle. A bit awkward. But then I met someone and we would slow dance in our living room and with that, the moving cuddle then made all the sense in the world. So it occurred to me how rare it is: to find someone with whom you make slow dancing make sense.

The other day we had JJJ on the radio and there was some techno dooffff-dooooofff on. We started dancing. And dancing, and smiling. For the first time J and I disco danced together. We both got into the zone. I even felt like I'd been drinking and with my eyes closed I could have sworn that I could see muted disco light motions behind my eyelids. Then, pop; I was in the kitchen again, laughing and loving the opposite of the slow dance; the pissed idiot picking-up dance.

Thought you might like the "same-same, but different".

I do! ... both born of the same ingredients - musica and love. It's my happy tender spot. I miss the dancing.
