The Dance


					Dancing clumsily between two worlds

passionate physicality

			non-attached spirituality

craving affection
craving freedom
craving
						where is the balance

just a hoped for vision?

or the purpose of incarnating in human form

   daring to dance
							and delight

		myself in one

e x t r e m e
or the other
				a calidescope of physical

ecstasy

       	an ocean of blissful
			spiritual experience

								with no

b o u n d a r y

fear pokes its face into the mirror of my mind when I focus on 
				imagined

future events

                          the pain
      of attachment when the music of the dance             stops

serving to remind me to shift my attention
                                                inward
                                                to
                                                the
                       
                                                stillpoint
        
the present 
              moment
                      where

                            all love abides.
