Liberation

I have a dancing spirit. My body loves music and rhythm. I have to dance. I just do. Dancing is something I am very good at and has always been. For as long as I can remember, music has soothed and moved me.

I am an energetic eclectic dancer. I don't do line dance, and have had problems with any dance routine I have tried to master. I simply like to just be free to move however the music wants me to. No hesitation, no inhibitions. I love to dance.

I remember when Madonna's "Get In the Groove," came out. She hit my right at my soul with the line, "Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free." That said it all and it is so true. I like dancing by myself, even when I am at a club. Partners have expectations, I just want to dance.

I have this beautiful book of poetry titled, "Room to Dance," I cry when I read the poetry.

Room to Dance

Incompletes.

Obstacles,

I turn away

Never arriving

on the other side.

Withholds.

Emotions,

Crammed in

the closet becoming

Too stuffed to open.

History.

Waste

from the past,

Littering my niche

I carry it with me,

Never

letting go.

Circumstances.

Clutter,

Infinite excuses why

What I have

is not

What I want.

No clear path

through the

Disorienting chaos

I wander

tripping

stumbling

falling.

I choose.

The Rhythm of Life

seduces me

into motion

Move by move, I

Complete

Reveal

Let Go

Engage.

Clearing the space,

Creating

Room to Dance.

Wow! This poem moves me, explains me, is me. I love the entire book. Dance has been my friend and I am eternally grateful. I have to move.

Away

I am not the type of person who really misses people when I am away. I've never tried to examine why and to be honest I'm glad I'm that way. When I do see them again, I am usually happy about it.

Well, my husband really missed me the four days I was gone. I thought of him often and actually bought him three gifts. I presented them to him upon my return.

We listened to music and talked a little. I danced for him and he enjoyed it, then we spent time being close and he admitted, "I missed you. I didn't leave the house the entire time you were gone."

Yes, I will be going away more often.
