Short pieces of inspiration: Dance

The melody begins, building momentum. You look at me with a magnetic smile of knowing as you jump from your seat into my arms. Your giggles are kinetic, tickling every place of joy and delight in my young but eternal soul. 

We clasp hands and begin to move our feet in rhythm—off the beat, to our own song of happiness. 

How can anything so simple feel so good? How can this one moment spark so much hope and light in my life? 

The music swells into a crescendo, and we belt out the chorus with shrieks of delight. Where did you come from? This dance—this you, me, us. How did the universe place our souls here, at this time, just to dance? 

I cherish these moments. One day, you won’t remember—or even want to dance, free of inhibition or worry. So I cherish the jumping, the singing, and always the dancing. 

You and I, dancing for the universe to see. Always dancing together, love as our song.
