~ Elisabeth L. ~
Just being alive is reason enough to dance, if we ponder it for a moment. It’s not an accident that we lived through sometimes terrifying experiences. Nor is it accidental that we are in our current set- llng. We are needed by our friends, our family, even the strangers among us. Let’s cherish our opportunities to be in the presence of these others today.
Our lives are akin to a ballet. While learning the steps, we may stumble a bit, but the dance needs us all. Let’s never assume another person isn’t necessary to our own performance. If she is here, we need her.
How has this all happened? we wonder. How did I get here? Can I pull off my part? Our doubts need not hinder us if we remember that we got here with help; we’ll fulfill our role with the same ready help.
I can kick up my heels today and know that I can dance. All I need to do is listen for the music.
