The music on stage screams, "DANCE!"
No one in the entire festival stands up to take center tarmac. What do you do?
Dance like there's no tomorrow!
This Sunday, once again, let's try to jump out of the box, out of our comfort zone. Let's try to dance!
So, you find yourself with that significant other, or perhaps just a friend, sitting in the café for Sunday breakfast. A tune comes over the sound system that just gets your toes to tappin'. Hey, no one says you have to dance through the whole tune, just snatch up your lady and give it a twirl or two, and maybe a dip. Make sure you thank her, and, what the hell, bow to the crowd if they applaud your unabashed public show of happiness.
I could tell this couple, to the left, was having a great time. They were not alone, they had each other. Everybody else was superfluous to their moment, until the applause. Even the band gave them a hand.
People like these folks show us how to live. Most of us wouldn't put it out there, venture to be a spectacle. How short life is. God forbid they were to lose the other only minutes after they thought of dancing, and hadn't. What a loss that would be for them.
Dance, like there's no tomorrow! There may not be. This also holds true for things left unsaid like, "I love you!"
Dance, like there's nobody watching! Who cares? Truth be known you are dancing for you, and maybe for her. If people are watching, like most of the crowd around this couple, you dance for them because they won't.
Dance, even if you can't! Hey, nobody else got up there to try with this couple. Let em' laugh! Deep down inside they know you showed them how to live!
This Sunday let's leave our comfort zone at home and dance a lil' ditty for the day, for ourselves, our significant others, and for God!
