Love is in your eyes, sitting silent by my side Going on, holding hands, walking through the night Hold me up, hold me tight, lift me up to touch the sky Teaching me to love with heart, helping me open my mind I can fly, I'm proud that I can fly To give the best of mine, till the end of the time Believe that I can fly, I'm proud that I can fly To give the best of mine, the heaven in the sky Stars in the sky, wishing once upon a time Give me love, make me smile till the end of life Hold me up, hold me tight, lift me up to touch the sky Teaching me to love with heart, helping me open my mind Can't you believe that you've lighted up my way No matter how thorny my path, I'll never lose my faith See me fly, I'm proud that I can fly up so high Show you the best of mine till the end of the time Believe that I can fly, I'm singing in the sky Show you the best of mine, the heaven in the sky Nothing can stop me Spreading my wings... so wide
A song I once heard as a teenager has surprisingly been the forecast of my life journey. This morning, when the distant yet familiar melody which has been buried in the depth of my memory resurfaces itself, it brings me much joyful tears. It is exactly at this uneventful moment, I have come to accept my past. I know that no one else in this world could have done any better than I have for myself if given the same circumstances. I am proud of the little Annabel I was. “Believe me, I can fly, I am singing in the sky…..”, she still sings along through the heart.
To end on a positive note, I would like to share my latest site-dance work at Bharatiya Temple and wish your day be filled with heavenly joy and blessings!πππ₯³ The link is https://youtu.be/Bknw8LxiIeE (in case you can’t open the video via my blog, which happens sometimesπ )
A very beautiful share Annabel
The video was not playing here so I opened YT(and dropped a comment)
I absolutely love your dance on Dam daara dam daara mast mast( lyrics of the song from the movie Guru)
Your dance was Mast( means amazing in hindi).
I’m really happy to see it, thanks for sharing

You are more than kind, my dear friend! It’s an honour to dance at a Hindu temple and I feel resonated with every story in the scripts.
It makes my heart happy to know that you enjoyed the dance! (the best compliment for a dancer). Much gratitude from your heart to yours!

For a minute I thought you are in india or something. I like how you started your video with a stuti (prayer).
I am sure you have plans to visit India. I would like to see your dance live on the stage. βΊοΈ

Thank you for noticing stuti! It was inspired to include in my work by my experience sitting inside the temple and just listening the prayers of the priests. It was a sublime and satisfying sensation….
Yes! will keep you posted if I happen to be in India down the road π
