I am paraphrasing from a beautiful book that was gifted to me by a beautiful woman friend (which is a whole other topic....the amazing women in my life now) about the Tao:

The only thing that gets in the way of dancing with life is constantly worrying where to put your feet...

That is so true for me. And as mentioned before, I love to dance, to watch dancers inspires me. I want to move like that. Fred Astair was my hero when I was young. I loved to watch his old movies with Ginger Rodgers. Later, I loved to watch Michael Jackson, Nuryev, any musical that involved dance, I was there. Early on I wanted to be a ballerina. Just the other night my mother was talking about how when I was three I wanted toe shoes.

The whole idea of being free with the rhythm of life. Flow. Grace. Beauty. Ease. Inherently knowing the next step. This is trust at its deepest. That I am guided.

I am reviewing my relationship with my feminine, how I am expressing myself while I am doing whatever it is that I'm doing. The energy behind the actions, the words, the decisions.

Learning to be led rather than always taking the lead, learning to accept each moment that's delicious in its own way. Not something I directed or even knew about one second before it happened. Participated in. Engaged with. And responsive to. YES. That's being a good partner.
