There is no “stepping outside” or “detachedly observing” anything; that’s like being the prudish kid at the party who tries to look cool by bobbing his head in the corner.  Conversely, we know the dangers of obsessively identifying with any singular aspect; those are the drunk idiots obsessed with being the center of attention.  What it’s really about is being able to utterly commit…and then letting go.  It’s about becoming an expression of pure joy—one that flits from position to position, one that morphs into a perfect key for every lock.  

Why do you think [Dancing] has been a sacred ritual since the beginning of time?  😉

  1. Hmmm… Great thoughts, and dancing is a perfect analogy.

    1. Thank You! I think so as well! Unconfirmed…but I have heard that supposedly it is the physical activity that has the most mood-boosting effect in terms of hormones.

      1. It does. When my preschool class moves and dances, learning and positive moods always follow.

  2. Like I tell my girls, there is nothing more pathetic that the eye rolling, too-cool for this, half baked performance given by many adolescents & young adults. Do it, don’t do it I don’t care but if you do it do it properly, they are so busy trying not to look like toddlers they look like stupid kids. Real performers are quite happy to act stupid or whatever is required; you laugh with them.

    1. Absolutely! It’s an important part of honing skill as well as ditching ego; being able to commit fully and trust that you’ll recover and learn from it and have a chance to apply yourself better at whatever you choose to do next!
