When I lived in NYC, I was once meeting a very important client for lunch at one of those overpriced French restaurants with big plates and small food. I encountered one fo those waiters who can not just ruin lunch, but kill a deal. Not knowing what else to do, I told him he was a terrible waiter. He bristled and told me he was not Really a waiter, but an actor. So, I told him he was a terrible actor. He bristled and huffed, "how did *I* know he was a terrible actor." And I told him it was because he did not know how to act like a waiter. I further explained, he had as Shakespear had pointed out, a stage on which to perform a variety of the quientessential waiter roles and he was letting this great chance go to waste. In the end this actually not only closed the deal, but the manager of the restaurant hired me to train his staff. So I would say to you, close you eyes and just imagine the most elegant of servants. Play with your hands, the tilt of your head, the angle of your knees, whether your feet have your toes under or pointed, right toes over left or left over right. Keep a dairy of each thing you try and how it feels inside. See how your lover reacts to each thing you do. Then when you have 100 pages, post them here or create a website and let us here know the way. Within you is the most exquiste servess. Now you are but a bud, tightly held, perhaps a caterpillar would be a better metaphor. Explore. Suprise yourself. Enlighten us. Zip
