Life As Art- Altering our Perception to Sense Beauty

Posted by Carmen Loureiro Hadas on Monday, May 30, 2011, In : Inspirations

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