Today I went to see Shen Yun with Mom. It’s a Chinese cultural dance performing arts company. It really reminded me of the value of beauty and of experiencing different cultures. They were technically excellent but they also added commentary about the origins of their dance styles and about some of the realities of life in modern China.
As we drove in Mom asked me if I was looking forward to the event or if I was just doing it for her. I didn’t want to disappoint her with “I’m just doing it for you” so I told her “a little of each.”
By the time we hit intermission I told her my new assessment: I REALLY enjoyed it. I’m glad that she wanted to share that with me.
