* Aimelie and The Dancer Who Lives in The Park *


Aimelie loves to visit The Dancer Who Lives in The Park

Aimelie loves to watch her dance

The Dancer lives in an imaginary little white cottage covered with beautiful flowers

When it rains the drops make lovely pitter-pattering sounds on the imaginary rooftop

Aimelie and The Dancer love to talk about flowers and sunshine and just anything that is beautiful

Most of all they love to dance

The Dancer Who Lives in The Park dances like A Wondrous Fairie-Angel

Aimelie who is only five-years-old dances like the Joy of A New Sunshiny Day

Aimelie, like the Dancer Who Lives in The Park

May also dance someday like a Wondrous Fairie-Angel

But She and the Dancer Who Lives in The Park

Will Always Lovingly Remain The Child

The changing sunlight dancing on the landscape
Veils of clouds dancing overhead
Stars dancing twinkling in the nighttime skies
The heart dancing on a sea of beauty and love


It's a clear new day and a fresh breeze breathes new life.

I have vivid images this morning of

** An Angel-like Being **

rotating-pivoting in space.

Her flowing, flowering gown of white air echoes her every marvelous gesture. Her lovely face is surrounded by the loveliness of her every move. With her beautiful dancing and her artistic desire she has caught an ethereal wave that she rides as gracefully as the breeze that carries it.

Our minds and hearts set sail as we watch her.


** Recalling Her -- All Is Calm And All Is Beautiful **


This is one of our loveliest of all dreams. She is an image of ideal human beauty, an Earth-Angel, a star-bound being carrying us along on a voyage of the heart and soul.

Perhaps this is also what beautiful dance is about. To help set the mind and heart free to be able to ride the breathe of life that each new day offers us.



(This is a slight rewrite and addition to my post several years ago describing two performances by Ekaterina Osmolkina with the Kirov-Mariinsky somewhere across the ocean from Beau-Le-Soleil. Also there is reference to a similarly wonderful performance by Nina Kaptsova with the Bolshoi in the 'countryside' of Beau-Le-Soleil earlier this year.)

"One of the Most Beautiful Dancers that I've ever seen,"

wrote Ami.

" The Ocean "

"If I could dance like a wave, how beautiful I would be," said Aimie.

"You are that beautiful," said Ami,

"Just being yourself."

"I'd love to play in the flowers and dream that I dance like a beautiful fairy-angel," said five-year-old Aimie.

"In this garden you are what you dream you are," said her five-year-old twin brother, Ami.

" Let's play ! "
