Awake
How can people quit tango? I mean how can you quit being caressed? How can you quit being held like no one else matters on earth? How? How can you quit the need of physical touch, connection, friction, pleasure, warmth or whatsoever. I just want to know how can a human being quit tango?
There are times the thrill appears to be gone, for good. There are times the magic appear to have never existed. Other times you feel useless, you don’t even know how to feel your own body, needless to say how to move or express in music. Getting depressed when I can’t get rid of the unnatural responses due to numbness, mind-driven way of being.
Sometimes I move whole day and feel like sleep walk. I have danced for some seven years and when I see people walk and move, I see most of them are sleep walking. I want to go up to them and say, please wake up. Then it’s patronising. But when I dance, when I dance well, I know what it’s awake. How could I be so awake so real so genuine?
So how could people quit tango when it means being awake and real and genuine together with the other human being? Just saying.
