Yesterday I received an e-mail by Nadine’s old friend Julie containing the link to a dance performance she did for us. She says she doesn’t know about prayer, but about dance and movement. Thanks a lot, Julie!

Nadine and Julie met in the 1990s in Lawrence when Nadine was studying at the University of Kansas. She shared a flat with Frank and Julie was the girlfriend of Frank’s close friend Paul. Julie herself lived in Ohio these days where she studied dance. Nadine attended her wedding with Paul somewhere close to Columbus.

Julie also encouraged Nadine to take part in a course for modern dance that culminated in a public choreography at the Lawrence Arts Center – fifteen minutes of fame for shy Nadine…

Both women haven’t met for about two decades but connected again via Facebook last year. Paul and Julie are going to spend half a year in Munich soon and Nadine is looking forward to meet her old friends again.

Julie says her performance can be watched with any piece of music. Let me suggest “We Dance” by Pavement – if you start the audio player first and the video next both media fit together quite well.

P.S.: The picture of a dancing Nadine was taken at Narbonne Plage in Southern France back in 2009. We visited that place during our first holiday together.
