Dancing Permitted
New York Times – Jan 13, 2008
I was 46 when they found the tumor in 1994. I had something called osteosarcoma an unusual bone tumor on the femur. If you break the bone the cancer can disperse throughout your body and you die. I was doing athletics and weight training and detected that my inner knee was tender to the touch. I thought it might be tendinitis but then I got violent pain in my leg. My husband and I have a place on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and we called the local orthopedist and had an X-ray done. When he came back to the office he said “I’m afraid I have bad news for you… I would say the other parts of my body are now 120 percent. Sometimes I get tired and I limp or if I don’t exercise regularly I ache. Dancing is one of my passions moving to the music with my husband. When I get out on the dance floor my leg may swell up afterward but you’d never know. People assume that when something like that happens to you all the impact is telescoped into that one event when in fact it continues to reverberate throughout your life. I had always been physically fit and healthy.

Vocabulary for the intangible

The dual concepts of “Spirituality” and “Indian art” have been entwined from times immemorial. In this symbiotic relationship one cannot be seen as apart from the other especially in the areas of music and dance sculpture and painting. In the Origin of the Work of Art German philosopher Martin Heidegger wrote: “Meditation on what is art is entirely and decisively determined by the sole question of being. Art is not taken as a special domain of cultural production nor as one of the manifestations of the mind… Nature is her vehicle as it uplifts and transcends she says and shakti that resides in prakriti is the vital process of dynamism. Sujatha’s use of ancient scriptures in many of her works reflect her moorings in tradition and a strong sense of spirituality that goes hand in hand with Indian thought. So does spirituality in art evolve under guidance from a guru a personal spiritual teacher who enjoys a special place of prestige in Indian tradition? Does the transition from darkness (gu) to light (ru) occur without mediation? The guru-sishya relationship is a special one where the sishya or student can break away his fetters under the protection and guidance from a master who allows him the space for intuition to be in touch with his consciousness. A guru rarely chose a sishya. It is the student who finds guidance under someone who responds to his satguru or inner being. The notion of unconditional love like one shared with one’s own mother highlights this special bond. And it is a bond that exists for life.

Club walks tall with vertical pride
Sacramento Bee – Jan 13, 2008
This past Friday night a dozen or so members gathered for a fox trot lesson at Cafe Capri in Carmichael. Their 5-foot-1-inch instructor Mira Trousdale was hard to spot as she wandered among the couples helping with rhythm and footwork. During a break the dancers sat on barstools trying to calculate how many marriages had come out of the club. At least nine they decided though several more of the 100 or so members are dating each other. Because age eventually chips away at even the tallest some members were a bit circumspect about their height. “Six foot 4 inches is on my driver’s license” said Rich Marier of Placerville after his wife Kimberly Berg suggested a current measurement closer to 6-foot-2 or 6-foot-3. Leman the 59-year-old president said he used to be 6-foot-5 but is now down to 6-foot-4.
