“True Ease in Writing comes from Art, not Chance,
As those move easiest who have learn’d to dance.”

Even if you're so passionate about something, and can't imagine life without it, there are times when your enthusiasm starts to fade, and the interest starts to wane - what gets you back up on your feet? What keeps you going?
Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance.
Great dancers are not great because
of their technique,
they are great because
of their passion.
- Martha Graham
Express yourself. Don't mind those that tell you that (they think) you can't dance. Say nothing, OR "I'm dancing to the beat of MY OWN drum".
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane
by those who could not hear the music.

Stop being so hard on yourself. Only you are holding yourself back. Listen to the music and let it carry you away...
Dance like no one is watching.
Sing like no one is listening.
Love like you've never been hurt;
and live like it's heaven on Earth.
Sing like no one is listening.
Love like you've never been hurt;
and live like it's heaven on Earth.
- Mark Twain
If music moves you, don't hold back and stay content in your seat. Enjoy it. Celebrate it. Express yourself, don't repress yourself.
The truest expression of a people
is in its dances and its music...
Bodies never lie.

Bodies never lie.
- Agnes De Mille
We should consider every day lost
on which we have not danced at least once.
And we should call every truth - 'false',
which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Think, feel, dance, love. That is truly living.
Only the wise can dance the rhythm of life.

During times like these - reflective periods - I like to call them, I find inspiration in the wise ones before me. Life certainly does go on.
Life is not waiting for the storm to pass,
but learning to dance in the rain...
