2:14pm, Bolton Street and Dolphin Street, Baltimore, MD

I'm processing some family stuff that has me in my feels. I actually break down and cry momentarily during the dance. I didn't have this exact site in mind but I did purposely pick this neighborhood. It's around the corner from my first place in Baltimore. I moved here 8 years ago, right around or just after my birthday. There is an ample breeze out today. I'm getting a slight chill as I write. I'm trying to balance between fear and sadness right now. Almost fitting that today's prompt is BALANCE. How do we move forward when there isn't a clear path? How do we summon strength when we are full of fear and sadness? How do we fall apart and come together simultaneously? Why is this year so fucked? I am connecting to the activities I share in common with my Dad... biking and yoga. Depending on how I feel, I may also go for a walk. I hope today's dance reflects my fear, sadness, strength, and softness... Day one hundred forty.
