my favorite part, a comment � question � answer at the end of the program:

�i so appreciate how your work moves beyond the vocal and physical embodiment of a person to capture the energetic essence of the soul. can you speak to the importance of that level of resonance of empathy that you have for us as human beings � how we can develop that?�

that has got to be the best worded lecture question i have ever heard.

ms. smith responds - meets it head on, quoting a poem given to her about listening creating healing, then adding a nod to Jung�s � wounded healer� having the space to absorb the story in a way that brings about that healing.

great background inspiration for the hard work of working on a rainy friday afternoon
