She dances now in Paradise,<\/p>\n

She and Daria danced on Tamalpais.<\/p>\n
A Century of Dancing;<\/p>\n
Dancer of a Century;<\/p>\n
Dancing now in Paradise<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dancing with Nature,<\/p>\n
Anna\u2019s creations rose,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rooted in earth, reaching to the sky<\/p>\n
Circumstance, emotion, chance,<\/p>\n
guided her steps, became her dance.<\/p>\n
A new genre of artistic expression,<\/p>\n
Postmodernism, came into being.<\/p>\n
Innovation guided her steps,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anna\u2019s dances were transformational,\u00a0<\/p>\n
A moving tower of social change<\/p>\n
Across her stage, a diversity of<\/p>\n
Color, creed, and culture<\/p>\n
\u201cSystemic racism\u201d not yet spoke,\u00a0<\/p>\n
A feeling of healing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Healing. Anna made it so<\/p>\n
Dances and classes for the ill \u2014<\/p>\n
HIV dancers; dancers with cancer,<\/p>\n
And from cancer, Anna healed herself<\/p>\n
She dances now in Paradise.<\/p>\n
A Century of Dancing.<\/p>\n
A Dancer of the Century.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Anna worked with poets, musicians, and audiences.<\/p>\n
She taught her dances to many of the greats \u2014<\/p>\n
Merce Cunningham; Meredith Monk; Ilene Serlin;<\/p>\n
They taught others who taught others who taught others.<\/p>\n
She dances now in Paradise;<\/p>\n
A Century of Dancing;<\/p>\n
A Dancer of the Century.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Anna danced in parks and rooftops. She danced<\/p>\n
At the Museum of Modern Art and the Venice Biennial.<\/p>\n
She danced nude on the Silver Screen.<\/p>\n
Anna danced into my heart; there she dances still;\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someday we both will dance in Paradise.<\/p>\n
A Century of Dancing,<\/p>\n
A Dancer of the Century.<\/p>\n
******<\/p>\n
As the New Age is birthed,\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
Blessed be the dancers.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
Blessed be the healers<\/i><\/p>\n
Blessed be the revealers.<\/p>\n
