Dance

"While I dance I cannot judge, I cannot hate, I cannot separate myself from life. I can only be joyful and whole." -Hans Bos

Children have that down pat, don't they? They know how to let go, to be completely immersed in their joy, in their imagination, or even in their upset. They don't live life half way, they dive in totally.

In yoga this week, the instructor brought up this question: Where in our lives are we living half way? Perhaps it's in our relationships, or in our jobs, maybe we say no too much when we should be saying yes or vice versa. I think this question humbled all of us, for wherever we are living big in our lives, there are places that we live small. And I'm not necessarily talking about heroic feats of living here, just about diving into each moment, each dance, and the arms of your loved ones with as much aliveness as you see pictured above.
