a dance


A recent poll cited in the paper stated that 72% of BColumbians think that the world in end in the next 2 generations. Fear is the fad of the new millennium.

When I get scared a funny smile creeps through my lips. What am I laughing about - the ridiculousness of it all?

After the tsunami I felt compelled to bring awareness to the possible dangers we all face. I was and still am compelled by fear. This doesn't help anyone.

I'm looking for hope. Do you have any to share?

I have plenty of passion. I feel it when I'm dancing, singing and playing guitar. It's not all good. Sometimes I act it out as anger. In my most humbling moments, I act passive aggressively.

Sometimes I shout when I'm trying to sing. I punch when I'm trying to make you laugh. I punish myself when I'm trying to be healthy.

I feel my body when I need grounding. I touch my skin to bring my awareness to the present moment. I lay my hand on my heart when it is pounding. I feel my solidity.

Am I my body? My mind soars without my limbs. I don't need to move to feel moved. There's no need for touch to feel touched.
