Ballerina

she is an instrument of discipline
epitome of grace
exuding feminine power 
the hours it takes
to make this look effortless 
cannot be fathomed

You are so right! It does look effortless. I can’t imagine all those hours of practice…

I know I could never have that intensity toward dancing.

So true. True athletes, many times underappreciated. Great strength and stamina with grace.

It is truly something to think about now that the Olympics is fresh in our minds.
