Personally speaking, I have a deep interest in the art of movements, especially the ones that elucidate the flow… perhaps that is why I love dancing but on the other hand I have been equally captivated by the beauty of Tai chi and more so Qi Gong.
The healing energy of movement has often been a subject of deep passion, respect and research for me.
Likewise I am especially fond of the flowing Waltz as well. Since childhood, dancing comes naturally to me but have always found myself grappling to understand why martial art is even necessary.Until much later I started exploring the potency of energy in each of us…through a little introduction into Tai chi as well by conscious choice.
Allow me to present my reflections on this subject in a flow….
In a dance
There is an interconnect
Of emotion and movement
As to emote is to sense
The feeling in the flow…
In dance there is an awareness
Of moving in response
Without anticipation.
As in one step less,
The music moves on
And you are left to improvise
On how to match the steps in rhythm.
Yes, truly to dance is to enjoy the life in the moves.
In martial arts
There is flow too
But a flow that is ever in alertness,
In strategic moves and self defense
The speed and swiftness
In reaction and response.
Martial arts often feels like dance… t
But often the difference
Is between life and death.
Both are connected in the deepest sense and yet distinctive like chalk and cheese.
The intention to dance and to fight…is what differentiates.
We dance to let go, to enjoy this now and celebrate it.
In awareness is a flow that merges in harmony to synch in with now in artistry of the moves
The warrior is fighting for peace for survival against all odds
Not knowing what is the next move but yielding to the now to decipher the countermove and strike.
Here too there is often a display of extreme artistry of motion in accuracy of time.
To learn both, takes dedication and practice in patience.
But most of all is the need for relentless will & passion to persevere .
Yes, there is a dancer in a warrior
And a warrior in the dancer.
Choice rests within you.
Just remember, to dance is to live the moments and explore its most aesthetic potential in the flow… choose not to make dance a fight.
Stay joyful in peace.
To learn martial arts is to get into the arena and survive.
Attack or in self defense with least possible harm to get out of harms way to stay in peace.
Both may have their own relevance in purpose
To negate one is to look at only one half of the circle
Just as much as joy is part of life
Safekeeping the freedom to be
Is equally important in every now…
Do you want to dance in peace
Do you want to fight for peace.
Choice is yours to make
Peace or war!

Fascinating Verse Below Savvy Originating in The Ancient Gospel
Of Thomas Buried Away in Egypt And Not Actually Uncovered
And Put into English Print Until 1959 As This Version Escaped
Centuries of Changes Yet i surely Will Relate That The Sign of
All Existence God is “Movement And Repose” The Energy We
Conserve And Spend As Chi Is the State of Being Before the
Lion Roars Thundering Across the Savannah And the Quiet
Before The Strike of Even The Smaller Feral Cat Perfectly Still
In Focus And Concentration For Survival As In Repose Every
Calorie Saved Means Living Another Day And True Within Us
We Have the Ancestral Dance of Move and Repose of as Long
As Existence Has Been Here Friends With Gravity We Become
This Way Smiles i’ve Been Doing a Mix of Free Style Ballet And Public
Martial Arts Dance Now for 14,522 Miles As i Just Got Back from
Hours and Hours of Doing that as my Wife Shopped Ending up
At the Barnes and Noble Book Store Friends With Gravity in Dance
Same Move and Repose as Oceans Shores Come to Be Through
Waves that Go Out and Come in Again as Planets Spiral Stars in
Balance of Gravity too Dancing Reading an Entire Book in Less
Than an Hour Listening to Meditative Music Fully Wide Awake
And at the Gym When i warm Up to Leg Press Still up to 1520
Pounds at 60 Years Old With My Arms Raised to the Ceiling in
Balance Doing that i Warm up With ‘Tai Chi’ that is No Label as
Neither the Song of my Poetry The Ballet or Martial Arts of my
Dance comes with Any Lessons only the Natural Move and Repose Within
Again as the Verse Says Below How We Will Feel God Within How We Will
Dance Free In Flow Where Life Becomes A Meditation to Conserve Energy
And Expend Laser Focus When Necessary for Whatever Life takes Now
50) Jesus said, “If they say to you, ‘Where did you come from?’,
say to them, ‘We came from the light, the place where the light
came into being on its own accord and established [itself] and
became manifest through their image.’ If they say to you, ‘Is it
you?’, say, ‘We are its children, we are the elect of the Living
Father.’ If they ask you, ‘What is the sign of your father in
you?’, say to them, ‘It is movement and repose.'”
It’s true In the Verse Above That Jesus
Is Whole Lot More Like Yoda
Than Any Modern
Day Version

He Sounds In this Verse

Countless Other Folks Who Have
