Going into detail!

Is not something that I do via blog, obviously! I'm just not mentally here. So, instead, I would like to refer all you blog followers, of which I believe there to be few, to a fellow dancer's blog about his (our) time in Jerusalem. He has all the deets on our dance program, what we do with our everyday lives and some interesting reflections on his time here in Israel thus far. Plus he's just really cool!

My dance goals have changed this week from attempting to learn the choreography to actually being an alive, present dancer. This is a very difficult thing to do when you are unsure of where you are supposed to be moving next. So, I have adopted some of the strategies I used when trying to get better at field hockey (which, if you remember, I did rather successfully). Number one: GAME FACE. Always look like you know what you're doing. Number two: you can never practice enough. Number three: Concentrate. No more wandering minds (hmmmm, there is a dead bug on the ground, I wonder if somebody stepped on it). I am determined to reach my full potential as a dancer. As that wonderful, famous quote says:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

And isn't that the truth? Who I am not to be....


Even more so, who are YOU not to be?
