Life is a dance..

…and those who were seen dancing
were thought to be insane by those
who could not hear the music…

Neitzche

We dance.. all of us, weather its movement or simply day to day things we do, everything is a dance, we move forward and move backward, in everything. Relationships are a dance, emotional, commitment, love, hate, compromise.

My life is a series of dances, juggling all the complicated steps I need to take to keep my family grounded and moving forward, but even then we stumble and fall, and that again is all part of the dance. We learn from stumbling and falling, those experiences allow us to learn, to grow, We learn more complicated steps, and become better people and we fly..

In these lyrics to a John Michael Montgomery song say it in a nutshell.

“Life’s a dance you learn as you go, sometimes you lead sometimes you follow,
Don’t worry ’bout what you don’t know,
life’s a dance, you learn as you go.”

I think a lot about the phrase, take one step forward and two steps back, but it should read you take two steps back, and make one forward, eventually we will all move forward, so don’t let the two steps back be a negative experience, but instead a learning one, sometimes in that learning process, we find the path forward we have set ourselves on is not the right one and a correction of course is needed for happiness.

So.. I hope you dance, don’t listen to those telling you, you are insane for the joy of dance.. they just can not hear the music.
