"When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way" - Wayne Dyer

I just read this quote on Nia Technique's facebook page ... I am sitting here, upright with my laptop positioned at eye-level. I am in recovery from whiplash. A little amused by this quote, I breathe a sigh of release as I am reminded that I am dancing through life even in this physically inactive moment.

“While I dance I cannot judge,

Dance me to the end of love - Nia

Posted by Carmen Loureiro Hadas on Wednesday, September 8, 2010, In : Inspirations

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me ...
