not living in the country i was born, i often ponder on what is it really that unites me with my country, with my nation, & in a wider perspective, how can i measure this bond?
well, the other day, i got my (or at least one possible) answer. i was invited by my sweet mother-in-law to join her for a ballet/modern dance performance; a kind of last minute invitation, where i knew nothing of what I was about to see & experience!
& then, a few minutes before the lights went off, i browsed the program, checked briefly the dance parts and skimmed down the list of the talented performers. & there he was… a greek-name-dancer… instantly i felt so proud & close to him, with the anxiety of getting ready to watch one of your good friends performing... & of course, i wanted to stand up & say to everybody in the small theater: this is Stefanos, he comes from Greece!

{needless to say that the performance, "Don't Leave Me Alone", by the dansk danseteater was just breathtaking, like the ones you do not want to end!}
what do you think?
