Cirque du Soleil

I just came back from a cirque du soleil performance. I came home late for that I have to be at work early the next morning. However, I must say that it was a spectacular performance that left me thinking afterwards I left thinking, about how amazing the human body is. The human body is perfect, it is designed flawlessly and on top of that it is beautiful and graceful. The human body is a perfection of design that no science could ever replicate not tomorrow, not a decade from now, whether one believes that this is the creation of the divine or a result of evolution is a interesting discussion question. When I saw the performers move and bend in all those ways, I was astonished of what the human body can do. Acrobatics,-gymnastics, dance and other arts such as singing have always fascinated me. People that do acrobatics to me see so free and happy. When they practice and when they perform they are taken back into a different world. In a world where all that matters is their body, how it moves, how it projects and how it feels to them. It is definitely calming and exhilarating. I remember when I went to salsa lessons every Sunday. Every time when done, my muscles would hurt but there was also some kind of alleviation. The alleviation was from the daily burdens and stresses of my everyday life. I left feeling so incredibly hurt, but also so incredibly energetic about life in general. I wonder whether those performs yesterday felt the same way. And than of course, there is the passion that goes into doing acrobatics, or singing or doing any kind of art. The passion comes out for me when I dance, and knowing that others are watching me and might even be admiring me gives me a happy feeling. I am sure that these performers after finishing their part must have felt the same, a happiness that their hard work of practicing had paid of and that they had left the audience breathless. These physical forms of art are amazingly powerful. I admire such people so much because deep inside me somewhere, I know that had I chosen any other profession than the one in which I am heading, I would have wanted to be a performer of some sort.
