The Dancer

If I were to say that I had any regrets about my life, or if I could do one thing differently if given a second life, I would say that I would choose to become a dancer. Every time I watch this film, or anything related to ballet, I feel as though I could simply die. This would be the one thing I would pursue. Ballet is so beautiful; so controlled, and yet so passionate. This is what I would do if I were not old and fat. Katja Bjorner is now the 1st Soloist Dancer for the Royal Swedish Ballet, and is currently dancing with Zhukov Dance Theatre in San Francisco.

Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
