The Dancing

Am I dancing?

So we are all dancing throughout life. Dancing alone, dancing with partners, dancing with groups, dancing alone once again. Life is all about the relationships that we have developed, the partners we dance with. Some dances are short lived, some dances last forever. The Minuet for our victories, the Reels when friends get together, the Shaker for our Judao-Christian faith, the Square dance when families got together, the Salsa, the Bolero, the Tango, the Lambama for our lovers.

We dance in the glory of the sun, we dance in the chilled healing waters of the rain. We dance on the mountain tops of our success and in the valleys of our failures (although often, our partners are carrying us while dancing in the valleys). We have dance nude in the bay window, we dance under the cover of a starless night.

I danced before my friends the Minuet when I completed Paramedic School, one of the greatest achievments in my life. I've danced the Shaker throughout high school and now later in life as finding Truth in the mist of the traditions and circumstances of Faith. I've danced the Bolero, the Tango, and the Lambama with two of the most beautiful women in the world. Today, I still dance the Reels with a dear friend, our dance restarting after so many years. Today, I still dance the Reels with a few close people.

Often I have felt that I was dancing alone, but I wasn't. I'm sure that others have thought they have danced alone, but they haven't. I have always been their dance partner, their hand clasped into mine, my hand gently on their backs.

And the dance continue!!!!
