#grace

All the natural movements of the soul are controlled by laws analogous to those of physical gravity. Grace is the only exception.

The imagination is continually at work filling up all the fissures through which grace might pass. ↗

Dancing for the length of time that I did, it centered me in such a way to be really in tune with my body, and I just feel like I'm physically able to do things because of my ballet background. Without ballet, I don't think I'd look graceful at all on screen. ↗
