"YOU live it!  That spontaneity!  That love that joy, that - what was the other thing - RISK! that infinitesimal wisdom that’s born in a moment.  You flashed it.  Repeatedly.  You were Robin Williams, but sexier and with less hair on your body.  Your BEING was inspiring!  ON FIRE!  Infectious.  You told the class that you would get each of us to step out and jump off the ledge to show their unique amazingness - (you had a better way of putting it).  And each person did.  Each person in that room was incredible - like - not to blow my horn - but I’ve been doing this for a long time... WHATEVER!  I was floored, I was intimidated, I was amazed, I was surprised, I was delighted by the talent, courage, versatility... joy! of each and every person in that room.  Everyone fucking killed it!  And that, in my previous mind, should’ve been impossible.  YESS!  I want to be as good as everyone in that room, and as good as you, but I also, now, want to inspire everyone else, like you do, to jump into that playing field, like you do.  So that I can be wowed and surprised, like I was yesterday, by such guttural breath / brain / body / talent / facethroatmouthtoungecontorting / fun / funny / touching / cute creativity.  I got to watch you change the vibration.  Sign me up for the revolution."
