Personal moment of Zen I'm sure you all have experienced at some point....
Me and my buds were spinning at a large party a couple nights back and I've just now recovered (it was a "good" party) Anyway, looking back on it, we were out there going completely nuts for about 5 hours straight with poi, fire ropes, staff and fire nunchaku. The crowd was loving it, screaming for us to perform certain moves they liked, fetching us drinks... and then even a DJ who was at the party started playing some of his music for us. Later on, some local film students - we're in a college ("uni" if not in America) town - started capturing us on video for a music video they're working on.
Needless to say, this party was one great turn after another, escalating the intensity and making me feel more and more alive as the night went on. I returned home with much soot on my clothes, a few little nicks from wrapping (and the occasional miscalculation), sweat glistening over every inch of my body, a headache and light sensitivity , and one of the greatest rushes I've felt in a long time.
We've all experienced it. We all seek it constantly. That feeling of totally letting your soul enter the fire as you manipulate it, dancing that familiar, yet forever still exotic dance where you no longer think of it in terms of techniques, beats, difficulty or showmanship, but instead just (as the Wildfire group in Chicago said it best) "paint your aura with fire."
To all my brothers, sisters, friends and new acquaintances in fire - I hope you all are able to share in this experience every time you dance, be it for an audience of thousands, or in solitude.
Suffice it to say, I had a good burn

Right on! It's always cool when that happens.
On an unrelated note, did you move from Montgomery to go to college in Stillwater or the other way around?
