we keep dancing
"you're a fool whether you dance or not, so you might as well dance"~some Buddhist
You do not need music to dance your fool head off. It’s best to simply jiggle your body a bit and reach up your arms for inspiration. Also for prayer, as in, you can “pray” or send out good energy to the whole universe by dancing around your house or yard or even on the sidewalk downtown—if you make it quick. And birds do not care. Maybe it’s nice for them, but I don’t know that for sure.
Anyway, dancing is certainly preferable to becoming depressed and thinking , “Now we’re in big trouble!” which, of course, we are. But then aren’t we always more or less? This is, after all, the veil of tears, samsara, the imperfect world and a big hellhole of a place where we are all incarnated and mixed up together. We’d better learn to dance.
And, please don’t say it’s not your world, as in, you don’t belong here. There are no mistakes.
But there isLOVE all around. Back atcha, the love comes. We get what we give. It’s kinda like dancing in the rain. The pure joy where flowers grow and tickle your toes. And laughter comes like a child to remind you.
An important unique voice to keep us honest - to be sure to dance and try on silly hats and find a puddle to stomp in - find the fun of being alive!
Great piece with an honest and important perspective. Thanks for sharing!
