... and had an epiphany. As i was swing dancing with an older gentleman, who seemed to enjoy spinning me as I was wearing a dress that flowing quite nicely when spun, i began to look around at the massive, swirling, flowing waves of people. My partner spun me and as I turned I noticed a friend I knew, who was dancing also... and I thought "I so appreciate who she is... she is just so beautiful and full of character". I spun and glanced again, I saw one who was very dear to me but far away and then someone who has also given much meaning to my life. I began to notice that every time I was spinning I saw someone else I knew, someone who's touched my life in some way.
It was like a garden, all of us. Dancing there together. We grow with each other and away from each other but always connected somehow and things never stay the same. Everyone follows the lead they are currently in and yet things can change in a blink. We are like a forest, tall trees sharing roots, providing shade and support. We are no more than breath in the wind.. but we are together. And every one of them, meaningful to me, i cannot seem to articulate.
Spinning... spinning...
SHE made me smile the other day. HER laugh makes me laugh. I remember what HE showed me about life. SHE makes me feel so at ease...
Riveted to one spot, spinning. How many more days will I get like this? Then. It stops and life turns back on. I don't get many moments like that. Sometimes I feel like God shows me the inside of people. The soul side...
I am not typically a writer, but I had to share that moment.
And you share your inner most being with the rest of the world in posts such as these. <3
