The outer flow of rushing about , tactile closeness with all that we seek , filling holes in time and mind abruptly called to cease . A jolt has come .

Suddenly there was silence .

Empty streets and roads eerily made space for contemplation . Birds became renewed in the absence of man’s busyness and their songs rang out in sweetness and joy . Their freedom to soar and to explore quietly inviting a look into one’s soul .

Suddenly we could see .

Sacredness in each breath of all living things is known like never before . “Don’t take my breath away ” we call out while our absence from the hectic activity we crave has been healing the air . The glory of nature set free , her colors rebound as if touched by magic , while we enter a passage …what will we discover ?

A quiet dance within where the steps begin with hope and determination . The choice and conviction carry the call to action . Love for the unknown other is on the line .

How you choose wait determines one’s peace of mind . That too is a dance in your mind . A few steps forward into optimism and a step back into fear .

As long as we breathe our dance for freedom will never end .

Winds are blowing wildly tonight . The waves dance and display their power gloriously. It draws me into to my freedom and into my joy .

My steps upon on the sand become of a dance of their own as I delight in the roars of the waves and strength in the winds .

It all brings me home to that in between place where the joyous freedom lives and dances and knows wisdom that needs no explanation .

Spreading my arms wide , welcoming the beautiful wild of life , and the cloak of heaviness flies away .
