Here I stand facing the looking glass-- one more fantastic journey completed and now it's time to go back to work, life and reality. It always seems like such a sudden stop when I get to this point-- the experience is still vivid and personal, too close and too dear to let go, and yet there is nothing left to do but move on.
But before I close this chapter, I feel like I need to say something to all of you who shared this wonderful experience with me these past two weeks: if you're from the tour and reading this, know that you're one of the people whose acquaintance and friendship I treasure. You all made this tour a time I will hold dear all of my life and look back on as a truly life-changing experience in some ways.
Thank you for the dancing, the drinking (!), the laughter. Thank you for your professionalism, your artistry, and your flexibility. Thank you for your grace under pressure. Thank you all for your time, your confidence, your good humor, and your patience.
I hope to see you all again soon. Zai jian and xie xie.
