LET THEM DANCE
She is a four year old, blonde, blue eyed student of life. The evening sunset was long gone and dinner had settled in our bellies. Just as most of us sat down to relax, she jumped in the middle of the room to demonstrate the dance moves she was learning in ballet class. She kicked off her worn pink western boots and transformed from a chatty whirlwind of activity into a seriously composed tiny dancer. Her voice whispered, “Tap, point, tap, point,” as she awkwardly rotated through her toe points and pirouettes. After several methodical demonstrations of her talent, the group began clapping. Her irritation was obvious when she loudly stated, “No! I am still doing it!” The clapping hushed immediately as the understanding was clear -- she was not done yet! How often in life do we interrupt someone else’s dance? We are so rushed, busy and preoccupied that we don’t notice their dance or take the time to let the moment unfold. When we see a fellow soul loving life, enjoying the moment and singing their heart song, we should hold the space of delight with them. We should let it last for them (and for ourselves) as long as it can. We should stretch it into as much absolute pleasure as possible. She may be a four year old learning her way, but for that space in time she was a teacher of life. The lesson was clear; the meaning was firm. We need to recognize another’s dance whatever form it takes and celebrate it as much as we do our own. Allow it to last until the music of their heart stops and the dance is complete. Don’t interrupt. Let them dance. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Pennie’s Life Lesson: “Every soul has a dance to dance. Celebrate everyone’s heart dance.” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ YOUR TURN... My intent in sharing this with you is to encourage you to applaud everyone's dance. Let them dance for as long as they want. Be in the moment of JOY with them! Let them dance!
