I have come to appreciate and understand several pieces of music
that were opaque to me before, or I was simply indifferent to,
because I was able to perceive how my partner was experiencing
the music. Their bodies, their energy, their movement,
transmitted their feeling to me. They were marvelous
experiences. Subtleties in the music which I was not aware of at
all became apparent. Patterns and harmonies that I didn't know
existed, suddenly became part of our dance.

Great stuff. I am forever indebted to these ladies, some of whom
I've never seen again, to be able to properly thank. If any of
you are reading this, thank you, Thank You!

Well, if you buy some of the Platonic theories, Cosmic Harmonies
and rhythms that guide the course of the universe do exist.
Finding a "reciever" that can pick up these waves is a
nontrivial process. :-)

In their feud [Stalin and Trotsky] both were right. Stalin was right in
maintaining that his regime was the embodiment of socialist principles.
Trotsky was right in asserting that Stalin's regime had made Russia a hell.
