Feet firmly planted on the ground, spine fluidly waving toward the space that surrounds, eyes softly gazing out in a perceptual palace of pleasure.
Accompaniment for the everyday dance alive with sound, explosions of color, and murmurings of people passing becomes a temple of peace and tranquility.
On the other hand, revival from the routines of monotony and feelings of sham surrounding the quality of moment to moment living has shown itself to the everyday dancer, yet again.
The dance begs for choreography that is remarkable, stimulating, and focused. Simple tasks of the everyday are being uncovered for the delicate and complex substance they contain. They are providing opportunity for deep meditative and purposeful steps in the everyday dance.
As a result of spending much time in the kitchen lately, a dance of the dishes has become a source of deep connection to the sensual spiritual world. Water tumbling from faucets beckons sensual excursions enlivening the surface of the skin. Utensils removed from the drain wet and cold to the touch become sacred wails to the devotee entering the palace of worship. The shimmering surface of cold porcelain and metal quickens this body toward immersion in unity consciousness The act of drying becomes a journey into the world of worship as each object transmutes tenderness of touch to fingertips alive with sensation.
There is gratification in the everyday dance of tedious repetition when the eyes of discovery, the heart of awe, and the mind of miracle come along for the ride. Just this! This moment, this movement as still action becomes the center of evocative experience within the periphery of pleasure and purpose. What is before me contains all the secrets of the universe and meaning for a life beyond the condition of ego mind.
There is always a dance behind the eyes vibrating with the sensual space that surrounds. This internal pulsation joins with the flow of life, which is constantly streaming toward you and I.
We will learn to ride the pulse as we learn to pause and listen. We accompany and partner with the field that is dancing us. We move with an appreciation of the everyday dance as embracing everything and everyone as we hold our arms in encircled empathy.
Staying every day grace full
