We are dancers on the light. The captors of your imagination, lightly swinging from here to there, arms wide, hearts open. Watch us balance, see us tumble, gasp as we fall. Then cheer as we catch ourselves at the last possible moment and remain there, swinging in the air like leaves glittering in the trees. But we are not just the watched, for we are also watching. Watching for your smiles, your gleeful laughter, your awed countenances. So open, so ready for us to enter your minds. You cannot look away. You are falling with us now. Don't look away.
