DANCE

Dance, in its earnest and naturally channeled expression, is a way of being completely present in the world, without allowing rational, human complexes to take over consciousness. It is a kind of expansion of consciousness in the sense that, when the rational and practical voices in the mind have been quieted, the consciousness is liberated from its situational blinders, and is able to unfold into a fundamental experience of physical and mental existence. It is a way of communicating the simplest truth of existence, a ritual to participate in, and reflect on, the endless motion that is presence in the ensouled body, i.e. human existence. We are wondrous contraptions, built subtly of the crude materials of the universe, and infused with a vast spirit. In dance, we drift effortlessly and artlessly through the universe, projecting out only what we fundamentally are.
