I think I figured out why trapeze is my favorite today. I do indeed enjoy being so high in the air, but that's not it. It's that it feels just like a giant, super high swing. Once I realized that, while sitting on the bar, listening to instructions, it made complete sense. I love swings. They've been significant in life for as long as I can remember. The became so integrated in my well-being at one point (around college) that I had to wane myself off them. But they've always provided me with a poignant sense of calm, of self-reflection. They were my self-care. Trapeze is like that, but not as stigmatic And I don't swing on it (yet), but I get to play on it in much more interesting ways. <3
