Two Metaphors

Love is...

One of my guilty pleasures is Chocolate Yan Yan. I think I enjoy it so much because yes, it is delicious, but it also reminds me of being 6, eating Yan Yan.

When I eat Chocolate Yan Yan, I get lost in my own world, lost in a memory. I feel safe--like nothing bad can ever happen to me.

Love is...

My most recent musical "discovery" is free jazz and collective improvisation. My music professor once told a story about a performance he did with one other person:

"We trusted each other. We followed each other. I let him go from me. I came back to him."

And there is music, such beautiful music, amidst the chaos.
