The notion stirs my thoughts and beliefs that life is a dance, though we find ways to ruin it and turn it into drudgery or pain, and it is glorious to wake up to the dance that life is. I was once in a profound group retreat that was a positive wild burn that revealed a depth of life that I had never before seen. It opened my eyes to life below the surface or behind the veil. It was an awakening experience that changed me, has always stayed with me, and led to my mission of igniting that experience with and for others, which I seldom recreated to the extent I had experienced but sometimes recreate to some extent. What helps me take a chance is knowing how exhilarating and valuable the dance of life can be, and knowing it begins with my being true to and with myself, which is satisfying no matter what happens.
