Dancing in the heart

Dance is commonly seen as either a performance, achievement, sport, social fun, or some particular styles that relate to this or that culture or subculture - but at its root the Movement moves, attention is wholly given and the body disappears as a limit because it is released into a direct communication with the very presence of life - as it moves.

Once that primary relationship is uncovered and reclaims it own - there is room for all things to be added or expressed within this context, from out of a willingness to relax into and trust the freedom and wholeness.

When the form is accepted as a vehicle - it cease to be the focus in and of itself.
The spirit of willingness is the receptivity to be moved and the trust is embodied in the act.
Love made tangible is aligned with a direct and selfless expression whose grace is first in presence and in time over time may of itself become a grace of form. But the need to entertain or find validation as form is transcended in the spirit by which we are moved.

None of this kind of verbal articulation is required to dance.
Nor is the judgemental mind that shuts down the connection in attempt to mimic and control the form.

But dancing in the heart opens a flowing awareness that can notice the feedback of the mind's focus and attention and can let go that which blocks by not feeding it - and grow that which knows the flow and presence by giving welcome and holding in gratitude.

For me it is a calling. A way in which I can share out from and thus meet in - revealed love ... unforced - allowed to be as it is.

Sharing, not as separate ones - but by joining in the same relationship of willingness and trust that then naturally or automatically shines among us.

As I discover talents I look to let them serve love's awakening rather than 'make a self'.
For that is where the loveliness of truth is shared.
