The International Association for Creative Dance presents “Dancing the Winds of Change” at Hampshire College, Amherst, MA

You let one movement grow out of another with your whole self in it. And the more your body, your emotions, your mind, your spirit are all integrated in it, the more alive it will be, the more meaning it will have.” ~ Barbara Mettler

Monday Love to your Dance of Daily Life

 

“ The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.”

 ~ Pablo Picasso

Do you ever catch yourself indulging in black and white thinking? Have you sometimes fallen into the trap of binary logic? What kind of life does one have if everything is a zero-sum game?

Monday Love to your Precious Patience

 


“ Rivers know this: There is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

 ~ Winnie-the-Pooh

You have a limit. Everyone does. If you’re reasonably lucky, and keep your wits about you, you shouldn’t get pushed to there too often. But despite your best laid plans, your good karma, and your better instincts, once in a while life will place you in a situation where you have no control. In other words, sometimes your patience will be put to the test. When that happens, what do you do?

When your patience is tested, it’s easy to start losing things. Your cool, for instance. When it starts to go, you might find your temper replacing it. But anger is like a blunt hammer that rarely hits the nail on the head. You’re more likely to wind up with a sore thumb instead.
