Still, I see her as illumined from within, burning with a passion that left an enduring mark on the world.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-48623877546498840022012-02-20T12:53:44.841-05:002012-02-20T12:53:44.841-05:00What a beautiful story, I loved it!

Are you a new visitor to th...@Serafina - Thank you! Are you a new visitor to the Grip? In any case you are very welcome.<br /><br />@Garce - thank YOU. I value your praise very highly. Isadora Duncan is sort of a spiritual mother to me - ever since I saw the 1968 movie based on her autobiography I have felt drawn to her. Of course, back then (I was in high school) I didn't know that she was bisexual. She had torrid affairs with a number of famous actresses, artists and writers.<br /><br />"Isadora" wasn't a beat up old car, though! I bought her after I got my first job out of grad school, a brand new Honda accord. She was gorgeous - full of power and grace, and definitely brought a kind of freedom.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-29030295133914353712012-02-19T21:19:12.808-05:002012-02-19T21:19:12.808-05:00That's one of the most amazing things I've...That's one of the most amazing things I've read by you. Not just the premise, which is great, but the sound and language.
