Life is a dance: you make up the steps as you go #24
Navigating life - a poem
Dear Lovely You,
I have been trying all week to compose a letter to you. I have started two but not completed them. Things just weren’t flowing. Then an idea came back to me that’s been landing in my mind for weeks. So I let it flow.
My mind was telling me that’s not enough. It’s too easy. That I need to give more. That I need to help you more.
But this week I can’t and I am honouring that and honouring that not everything I create has to be perfect.
See if you find words or meanings here that light a spark ot two.
Life is a dance
Slow. Fast. Vibrant. Sad.
And all things in between.
Dark and light.
Black and white.
And full of colour beams.
Life is a dance
People come. People go.
Conversations remembered
and forgotten.
Dreams met but rarely how you anticipated.
We do the doings.
Mostly to survive,
not enough space to reflect, to Thrive.
Life is a dance.
With no precise steps,
though you can choose some
as you feel into the rhythm.
Life is a dance.
You choose how to play.
Other characters and circumstances come your way.
How do you dance with them?
You choose.
Resist, go with the flow.
Embrace it, Embody it or let it go.
Life is a dance.
No winners. No losers.
No meanings but the ones you choose.
Life is a dance
Notice what works. What doesn't?
Keep going.
Change pace.
Change course. .
Or pause.
Follow the crowd
or find your own cause.
Life is a dance.
For me. For you.
And our different points of view.
Life is a dance.
Frightening. Safe.
Troublesome and confusing.
Or clear as day.
Out of sync and annoying.
Or floating and flowing.
Catching the tide or watch it going.
Life is a dance.
Full of choices and abundance.
Sprinkled with challenges to grow us.
Life is a dance
Feel it.
Be it.
Step, by step, by step
Being versatile, flexible, adaptable and accepting,
Life is a dance…
With Love
From my True Self to Yours
