Joy

I like spinning around in chairs;
For that brief moment,
I'm a child,
all cares forgotten.

No pretentions,
just me,
enjoying the moment,
completely.

Companion

I sit alone and watch,
the desperate moves,
my mind makes
to fill the silence.

Thoughts come and go
with a rapidity
that leaves one
gasping for breath


for that two minutes of fame
we race against time
pushing our way
through the crowds

Slow down
and listen to
the quietness
beyond the chatter

It is your companion
the only constant
that has always
been with you.

I hope you dance...

"I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...

I hope you dance..."

From the song "I Hope You Dance"
As performed by Lee Ann Womack

My favorite lines as they reflect my thoughts on life and living.
I believe... Life is about tuning in to your inner music even when you choose to sit out a dance. Dancing is a form of meditation where the world drops out when you tune in.
So let's make the most of every minute and swing to our inner beat. When life gets you down, just pick up your feet and dance.

Heartbeat

Like a lazy sun warmed cat,
the day stretches out,
langourous and sweet.
The blue skies,
an endless canopy.
The ocean,
in her all colors,
enchants me,
her timeless rhythm,
my heartbeat.
