The Eternal Dance

Prologue

On the first day, a bazillion atoms came into being.  All the atoms here now, were here then.  Or somewhere . . .

And all those atoms have been dancing since the beginning of time.

They never stop moving!

The spread throughout the galaxy  . . . they WERE the galaxy . . .

forming planets and stars and such . . .

And they transition from being part of one piece of the universe to being part of another, and another  . . .

Bits of us might have at one time been part of a planet, or a giraffe, or an accordion!  (well, you never know . . .)

And everything moves to different rhythms and patterns.  Atoms, cells, our bodies, planets, solar systems . . .

All is rhythm and movement.

We would die without movement and rhythm.

Constant . . . continual. . . . never ending . . .  eternal?

 

Bare feet on bare earth

I dance

In my chest, throughout my body,

I feel my spirit sing and dance

Swirling above me

To taste Spirit

Ah, but Spirit is already within me

Remember.  Listen.

Within me

All is movement

Atoms swirling

Blood flowing

Air pumping

Energy flowing

Through and around everything

Rhythms and cycles

Keep my body alive.

Keep this earth alive.

Think of it.

Think of it!

All that is within me

Is always moving

Always dancing

And yet, can be still.

The dance of the soul

Can be quiet and still

But, there’s more.

The dance extends far beyond me

Others’ lives are interwoven with mine

In a different sort of dance

Together we form an ever-changing tapestry

Layer upon layer

Everywhere you look

There are patterns and rhythms and cycles

People, trees, cars, mountains, clouds

Planets!  Solar systems!

Around us

“Above” us

Is the largest dance of all

Entire solar systems moving through space

Each doing its own outer space boogie

(or waltz, perhaps)

As they slowly swirl around each other.

Mind blowing

How it all fits and flows

Far beyond our comprehension.

Yet, the most beautiful dance is between spirit and spirit

Soul to soul

Energies touch and mingle

One’s essence is recognized and loved.

This dance is longed for by all.

We were built for it.

Meant for it.

Created for love.

Love created me.

Love created the dance.

All the many dances in and around me.

Are part of the love dance.

I long to dance with my Love.

Always.

Am I?

Yes.

Should all the atoms die, this dance will never end.
