When did we stop skipping?* When did we stop thinking that skipping was a legit option and preferred to walking or running?
When did the bounce and joy of a skip stop being the mode of choice?
And why don't we follow Millie and Trish? They could run a workshop: after service we could meet at the far end of the corridor, hold hands, and try to match their joy. But no matter how many lessons we had, I think we'd struggle to keep pace with Trish. (Though Millie would give it a good try.)
I'm still not clear why we stopped, but I think it's something to do with innocence - the loss of it. That and a bucket load of indifference to others' judgement, which we grew out of.
I think I should start practising for the workshop; I don't want to make a fool of myself.
