Dance is a moving mindfulness meditation, an embodied prayer, a self-emptying surrender to the eternity of the moment, a deep bow to the bewildering grandeur of what is.
We are all participants in this dance. We are all dancers. We are all moving in response to the primal thrumming of the Universe.
And we have the creative freedom, even responsibility, to infuse every moment with our dance.
The miraculous piece is that our participation in this dance changes the world around us, whether we build up or tear down, whether we fashion beauty or deface it, whether we sow harmony or discord.
Every time we choose what is beautiful, every time we listen to the birds sing, plant a seed, smile at our reflection in the mirror, cough up a prayer, hold a hand, we are adding to the good. We are serving the World.
We are dancing.
When we surrender our bodies to the rhythm of the music and allow ourselves to be folded into the arms of the Beloved, what special souls we are!
We have dared to waltz straight into the heart of the Divine.

Just off one of those humiliating videotapings which due to some masochistic tendency, I feel compelled to subject myself from time to time. This is my desperate search for perspective and consolation …. “The two distinguishing elements of the Tango are sensuality and elegance.” Carlos Gavito. – “Ah, therein lies the rub.” Shakespeare. – … … Read more
