Emotions...

My junior year at Northwestern, on a rainy afternoon, I walked to an independent movie theatre and bought one ticket (of only six total sold in the near empty room) to see a movie called "Kama Sutra". I was mesmorized from start to finish and on my way out the door had to fight the impulse to buy another ticket to see the next showing. Visually stunning and achingly amazing...the last line of that movie has never left my mind.

"My heart is as open as the sky..."

I guess Twyla Tharp's quote is painfully accurate:

"Art is the only way to run away without every leaving home."
