Dance when there are no words

At times . . .
The thinking animal cannot think,
The speaking animal is speechless;
The feeling animal, numb;
The planning animal, hopeless.


Then our emotions pour out into raw dance
When the music forces us to tell our stories
Of joy or sadness,
Sanity or madness,
Love or hate,
Fortune or fate,
Spiritual insight or
Eros's delight,
Then we dance . . .

Because we, the animals who think,
At times have no words
To tell our stories.
So we dance.

Once  when the world was inhabited by Archetypes, Music , incarnated as a man and woman , were without children. Music  adopt two mortal children who had never heard them sing. Upon hearing   harmony, they spontaneously become the incarnation of  Dance . The children , although not instructed on how to dance, embodied dance. One day the children sing and clap for Music , compelling them to dance. Music is reminded that they once were children, incarnations of  Dance . The children watch in awe.  Tango was born that day:  Music becoming childlike. When Music  becomes  Dance , the two unite in a synchronized, spontaneous embrace. This is the circle of life.  Music to Dance.  Dance to Music.  Music becoming Dance. This is the beginning and end of all things. Note: I was once a musician.  I became a dancer, which only reminded me of my childlike state.  When the music begins, it fills my body and takes over my soul to do things that I have never done before, nor what I ever have
