There is a celestial dance growing inside me,

Within me, you, and every encounter and soul I meet.

It’s the dance of Light and Shadow.

The music emanating from this dance

Resounds loudly within my ears, screaming to be heard

to be acknowledged and to be felt deeply.

It urges my body to move in this joyful rhythm.

This vibrant dance is the essence of the human experience —

It is Light and it is Shadow.

It’s me. It’s you. It’s them.

It’s the me who behaves one way outwardly,

But if given the opportunity, would do the very opposite.

The me who works and makes a living based on a set of skills

But who truly wishes she could be creating all day instead

The me who deep inside is the most generous and kind person you’ll ever meet.

But that can also be petty and disgruntled if pushed all buttons.
