She’s Like The Wind

This commercial got me thinking about how my little girl sees the world. How big her imagination could possibly be. Then I started to think about how it really is my duty (and pleasure) to make sure that's she grounded enough in her identity so that she can let her imagination and dreams come alive.

The way I see it, her imagination is like the wind. But her identity is the sails on the ship that will get her to where she wants to be. To take this example further, essentially I'm the lead engineer in making sure those sails stay upright and strong.

So to my Audrey, If ever you read this, know that no matter where the wind takes you on this journey, know that I'll always be your first mate. Always.

First off, let me tell you that I'm not a religious follower of this show nor am I an expert at dance or anything dance related for that matter.

What I do know is that there's something about this piece that makes me, the ordinary dude, understand a bit more the perspective of someone caught in an insatiable addiction (which was the inspiration for this). The struggle, the feeling of enslavement and that sense of letting yourself be thrown around and controlled by it. And ultimately that feeling of helplessness.
