"I am a dancer. I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living...In each it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God."
~Martha Graham
~Glade Byron Addams
And it's possible to dance one's greatest joys. And it's possible to dance one's deepest sorrows. And it's possible to dance a broken heart. And it's possible to dance a million fears. And it's possible to dance a former lover. And it's possible to dance a future dream. And it's possible to dance whatever your soul and spirit needs today.
Amongst the swirl and sway of my body...something takes shape, something beyond my form. A sense of something much more than I could ever possibly put into words. And so I dance my prayers instead of speaking them and I know they are always heard.




Namaste

This is so beautiful, Lisa. It almost made me cry.
