Sixteen (16)

Size sometimes matters.  But this dance of ours holds another set of apparent contradictions.  The largest of people are often the lightest on their feet.  The smallest of people can feel the heaviest.  If you haven't been watching the dancing carefully enough, it can come as a surprise.  It's a beautiful moment when you embrace somebody who looks like they would be blown away by a faint breeze, and they turn out to be anchored to the ground.  And you can feel the floor and the shoes and the feet as though they were yours.

There are 16 ounces in a pound.
