Signs of the approaching winter were beginning to appear. The vibrant, colorful leaves had fallen, giving way to the subtle transformation of the season. We had a very long walk in the night after the reseal. I asked him whether any ordinary person could succeed in dance, just as I had.
He responded with genuine sincerity.
"No, of course not. You were special."
"In what way?" I asked, curious.
"You are incredibly talented, naturally sensitive to music, and possess remarkable balance. You could have been a top astronaut if you had chosen that path. Unlike others who need years of training, you can spin effortlessly without any struggle."
"Do I also have weak points?"
"Yes, but it’s not something that can be assessed immediately. One key factor is flexibility, which I’ve noticed has gradually declined, also for me, over the years. That’s why I place such a strong emphasis on consistent training. I hope you can appreciate my perspective."
"Don't worry! I value your perspective, not just in dance," I said warmly.
