Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the Dance of the Creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of the eye but the Dance lives on.
On many occasions when I am dancing I have felt touched by something sacred. In those moments I have felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exist.
I become the Stars and the Moon.
I become the Lover the Beloved.
I become the Victor and the Vanquished
I become the Master and the Slave
I become the Singer and the Song
I become the Knower and the Known
I keep on dancing then it is the Eternal Dance of Creation, the Creator and the Creation merge into one wholeness of joy. I keep on dancing…. and dancing … and dancing , until there is only the Dance.

These words that Michael wrote I found in 1990 while reading his CD cover. I wrote them on a piece of paper and kept them, for never had I read such a clear explanation to how I feel when I dance when I become One with the music and all that is…
Such joy I feel when I dance when I feel so blessed that I can dance, that my body moves effortless to the rhythm with my heart. I bless my legs, my feet my toes, my full being and then I laugh with joy and feel so much love as I rejoice with my body as we enjoy the music and movement.
Many a night when alone I turn on the music and I laugh with my body as we enjoy the movement of the love expressed … even as I write this I take the breath of Love inhaling the joy of remembrance when I danced the dance of Love with myself… moving effortlessly around the room my partner the chairs, the pillow, being the music and the universe, flowing effortlessly, moving hands, hair, head , arms all finding their sound …
and we laugh…
yes we laugh for we are in total joy and there is no one there …
yet everyone is there…
the Universe is there and we have a party …
ah the music is loud …
yes!
The vibration flows through me I breath in this wondrous rhythm Uhm…. Yes!… and the rhythm is gypsy, the rhyme is drums of Africa, the rhythm is Rimsky Korsakov, Gershwin, and more… what ever my heart desires in the moment…. Yes it is movement of the ages …
I revel in and rejoice in that I can move to any music… I am limitless and all is total Joy …that cannot be measured … total Love … and Gratitude beyond words…
And my dear friends and family I just wanted to share with you in words yet the words cannot express the Dance and yes the Music and how it flows through me… and the movement I desire upon hearing it. For the two go together
and
Yes there are times when the Music is the wind in the trees, the birds singing, Sunshine and the Clouds… Moon light and Stars where when my heart feels I lift up my arms and I turn and I dance to the music only my heart can hear and must be expressed …
Yes in Dance …
and I exhale…
and breath in Love…
This is a really nice article. Yes, the whole Universe has been dancing eternally. If we can tune into it, it’s never ending and everlasting loving embrace. If only we all could do that!
I’ll tell you a story, an alegory – about a little sheep which always wanted to become a balerina. She wandered into the woods and a wolf saw her, she was just a good meal for him. In her horrifying fear and bewilderment she started dancing. At first the steps were unsteady, shaky. The wolf thought:” Let’s see what this young sheep is up to, and I can eat her later.” Aska, the sheep, went on with her dance. The wolf followed her mesmerised by her beautiful, now more confident dance. Aska went on and on because she knew as long as she danced, she would live. Finally, her mother realised her daughter was missing and found some hunters. When they saw big wolf following Aska, thet shot him. Little Aska became a ballet dancer and performed in ballet called ” Dance for life.”
No, I was not the one who made up this story. It was a famous Nobel prize – writer Ivo Andric. However, I’ve loved this story called ” Aska and wolf” since I first read it in High school. I thought about it and included it in my book, because dance can be even everyday living, fetching some drinking water, running away from snipers, chatting with your friends in rare peaceful evenings in any country in this world where enemy like a big evil wolf never sleeps. You live, you survive, because you celebrate life, and you win! Dance is powerful, isn’t it?
WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COMMENT… so appropriate for the blog, especially “in this world where enemy like a big evil wolf never sleeps. You live, you survive, because you celebrate life, and you win! ”
Thank you so much Kruna for sharing this story with your great insight and wisdom.
Blessings to you!
