Ok, it is the same title with the last one. I have to admit that yesterday the title is for no good reasons, but today it is. Because I shaked Merce's hand twice!
It feels like I am touching the footprint of history. He is a dance legend, but it is so real in front of me, with the body bounded by a wheelchair. His hands are marked by deteriarating skin colors, his reactions to people's conversation was slow. I'm very sad for him, but at the same time I am proud for him, for doing something different, sometimes not understood by other people but still staying the course.
When the public speaking class planned the banquet, I really was hoping that I would get "testimonial" or "reading", so that I can pay some tribune to Merce. However, I got "speech of entertainment". Too bad. But blogger gives me another chance here. So this post.
And of course, I hope Merce to be healthy and happy. He probably would not remember me, but I will always remember that I have shaked hand with a giant.
