The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities. James Allen, British Writer 1864-1912
My whole body smiles as I gaze up at a young oak tree against a pale blue morning sky. The leaves flutter in a joyful dance. So many beautiful shades of green backlit by the rising sun. What mesmerizes me is the movement. The Dance of Life. Bon fires have the same effect on me. The same dance, just a different form.
As I look around my backyard I see that the cattails have joined in the Dance… My rooster crows from his coop like a square dance caller announcing the beginning of a new dance. “Rise and shine everyone!” he seems to say, “Wake up and join the Dance!”
The birds chatter and my kitties’ ears dance a dance all their own in union with it all. A flock of sand hill cranes just took flight off in the distance. Their ancient calls stir a knowing deep within me that I cannot name.
Oh, how sweet is the promise of a new day, another chance to participate fully in the Dance of Life.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist and Transcendentalist, 1803-1882
I intend to join more fully in the Dance.
I accept that I have not always joined fully in the Dance… I relinquish fears that hold me back from pursuing my passions… I dream of dancing… With peace and love I intend to fully engage in a lifetime of Joy… I am grateful for the fabulous creation that I am a part of, I am.
