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.

We are dancing.

This enables … Read more
