Burning Dan

The pain of Dan hit me harder today then it has in a long long time.
I’m meeting a friend of mine today, for a fire session and I was reminded of what had inspired me to take up such a beautiful art.
I was first explained what poi could do for me by Dan - I was lucky to have him as a teacher. He said that poi is a gateway into learning flow which would dictate the rest of my life. I was skeptical, but he had me interested and so I decided to give it a go.
He literally set my world ablaze and I was hooked in what very quickly became a profession.
I used to spend hours every day learning different patterns and motions to go with poi. Now I spent hours every day writing articles for other people to learn poi. It’s been about a month since I’ve properly spun and I’m afraid for tonight. I’m afraid that with my mind focused on Dan, my hands won’t work. I’m not sure I can transcend to the level of beauty that my fire should have. It’s an art and a dance form, but I’m starting to doubt my abilities to draw when it’s not on paper.
Life isn’t fair like that…

We were asked to do a sketch in under 5 minutes. This is what I came up with.
