One evening after work, a few weeks ago, Alison and I sped through Ithaca to catch the sunset. Alison had kids to take care of and I wasn't able to leave work till after 5:30pm. We just wanted to do a little dancing while the sun was setting. We missed it -- we couldn't get there on time. We were also hoping to find nobody at the park, but we failed at this too. There were lots of people there. We forced ourselves to do it anyway. We danced after the sun had set and, we just ignored the guy watching us from the red pickup truck and the students smirking nearby. We ran our pieces, rehearsed, and played. Dancing at twilight turned out to be pretty wonderful after all. We found deep inspiration and were in awe of the beautiful night (even after the sun had set). The dancing spirits were with us. We are pretty proud that we just pushed through the obstacles and made it happen anyway!
