"Do not aspire to know it all. Aspire to listen to it all and to respond with compassion. It is only compassion that makes life livable for anybody."
- Joan Chittister, The Sacred In-Between
Good Morning!
I absolutely love the the point I'm at in life right. My self awareness and acceptance is at an all time high. I'm at point where I can dance the way I want to in public and not give a damn about anyone else's opinion. Not that this is brand new and out of the box, I've been working on it for years but gone is my anxiety about wondering what other people are thinking and saying.
I must admit that I'm also surrounding myself with a different caliber of persons.
I don't dance in the traditional black way. I mean I guess I can when needed bust out a good two step, but overall I prefer to create the dance moves as I go along. I just like to let my body what it is going to do it. Sometimes it's surprises me and I'm busting out with an MC Hammer move. Other times my Art school modern-dance-wannabe moves come flowing out ever so un-gracefully, yet fun. Once a few years ago I spun and dropped to the ground into a James Brown/Prince semi-split sans bounce back up factor. I was in pain for weeks over that one.
I have always loved dancing. I'm not the most rhythmic, sexy or appealing dancer. My Pole dance routine does not rank on YouTube or illicit dollars. Honestly I don't have a Pole dance routine but I would like to take a class. However, at this point in my life I'm just grateful and happy to keep moving.
Enjoy the Day!
Much Love,
E~
