Allowing the art to speak and acknowledging its flow is of essence, to sense and enjoy the art itself.
Learning to dance & dancing socially comes along with many lessons and learnings…
In any partner dancing its important to respond than simply react to the movement direction from the partner in the flow.
The cultivation of the ability of any dancers acknowledgement & appreciation of their dance partner or other dancers, differences in movement speed or artistry not merely as tolerable, brings on the required humility and grace in the dance.
This is in itself the essence of a rich and rewarding social dancing experience.
How beautiful it would be If good deeds prevailed in practice. If altruistic ways can become a norm A way of life and living If healthy collaboration became a driving force. Yet… Any change is never easy
The key to the new pathways
Is already existing with you
You simply have to acknowledge allow and accept
For it to get activated…
And you can embark on the new road of opportunities your way.
To change anything It has to permeate the psyche Of the mind in acceptance. Then there is transformation. Nothing lasting happens by force For force gives way to another mightier force in time Trust time in patience & perseverance.
Everything happens in time. Time shows the way As time has all the answers.
Each of us have unique abilities and limitless potential…
To approach the beauty in possibilities To create and develop something out of almost nothing To reduce recycle and regenerate, To makes things come alive.
Each of us has access to bits and pieces of a puzzle That is awaiting fitment Each of us needs a step taken In confidence , To connect pieces of the puzzle To build a bridge of thoughts through actions That can create new shifts in perspectives Alter the existing , springforth new inventions And bring out the new in the old. For its awaiting us, to explore, to discover This infinite grace of abundance called life. And ‘Each of us ‘ Truly can.
Great things can come in little packages Like a Bonsai perhaps Standing majestic and magnificent No matter the proportions
But what does it endure to be? Life without freedom Is a life of constraints & restraints A life of arrested development
Is beauty winning over freedom to be Is the desire for aesthetics and a taste of experimentation more important than freedom for living life fully Stunting growth is no way beautiful Be it Shackles on feet with chains or tight shoes in the name of beauty On the other end there are many examples of prejudices of beauty working itself in society. Delibrate acts of elongating necks with chains of gold is considered a norm in some parts of the world Why is life so brutal to life In the name of beauty?
Whoever thinks being slow is a weakness Has not understood its power
In being able to slow down The propensity to think carefully To pay attention to detail To be mindful & cautious To work with precision Steadiness and thoroughness Increases manifold.
In slowing down, nature teaches Great lessons in letting go Like time cannot be contained Moments are meant to flow It’s own course Yet the strength of the slow Is in the ability to live the now Recognizing the value of life.
There is an art of the slow Where the senses activate And creativity enhances In thinking and reflecting In careful consideration Slow is challenging for some Yet slow can be earnest practice of mindfulness Slow begets a response than reaction Slow can be about building up gradually And exploring the possibilities Of the potential in this now.
Slow can be a deliberation In patience & perseverance With an effortless grace Such is the art of the slow.
