Charlie Brown and his Snoopy are of...Thanks, Chis! Charlie Brown and his Snoopy are off and on good dance partners, depending on what they are each obsessing about. Then they appreciate each other again, or celebrate their parallel play together for a moment in time. Right? I guess that is how unattached I have become, or am trying to be. Low expectations of the "other" have less disappointments. On the other hand, high expectations of my self . . .lead me to want to take dance classes :-) And get REALLY GOOD! Even get bold to help others too shy to dance! But these days I am in to circle dances, "dances for peace", even contra dancing! Actually, the words "social dance" actually brought to mind the native American social dance that everyone from any tribe is invited to participate in. It ends with a big rush into the center with a cheerful Hooplah! That's so much easier than looking right into someone's eyes and facing their expectations, feeling like I am being examined, or analyzed. Circle Dances are my speed right now. And from the center of that circle comes a longing for more, for flexibility, and spontaneity, and experience that builds confidence. Improvisation is wanted eventually, when the "please, don't look at me, subsides." :-) Glad to see you are in Kensington. I used to work there a bit, back in my Philly daze. Wishing I could visit, but that will have to wait. See you someday! ~ RuthAnnRuthAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336326060476847366noreply@blogger.com
