I rendezvous with the long wire and perform the 'torero walk', gliding my feet, holding the pole away from my body, head high.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up.
I walk on the wire; it's my profession, and there are no two high wire walks alike.
I just put my feet in the air and move them around.
Wire-walking in performance is one thing - I never fell, of course. If I had, I wouldn't be here talking about it.
That's basically what I'm doing when I'm tapping them - getting my toes to the end of my shoes.
O, how glorious would it be to set my heel upon the Pole and turn myself 360 degrees in a second!
Climbing is what I do.
It's very easy to walk on a wire if you spend a whole lifetime practicing for it.
Literally since I could walk... I was performing.
How I long to fall just a little bit, to dance out of the lines and stray from the light.
