“Do a loony-goony dance
‘Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain’t been there before.”
/Shel Silverstein A Light in the Attic/
…and that’s exactly what I’ve just done 🙂 There’s something extremely liberating when I can just dance around my kitchen or living room- no lights on, apart from several tea lights- just me, music and my body… I haven’t done it in months, but today I’m rather high on adrenaline – it must have been my busiest beginning of a new year ever! But quite surprisingly, after submitting my assignments and then working, I didn’t collapse, but the opposite happened – I got energetic- almost too energetic. So I’ve embraced it and danced and danced and sang and danced some more . This incredible feeling when I can just throw my hands up in the air, let my hair down ( quite literally… ) and just swirl and spin and jump and sway , change the rhythm, tempo, volume…. Not worrying of what happened in the past, what’s going to happen in the future and definitely not worrying about the consequences of eating a half a tin of baked beans before started dancing 😉 Just being in the moment, the sound, the now. Freedom 😀

Do you dance at home? Do you have your favourite pieces of music you dance to? Share them with me in the comments 🙂
Yes, I dance at home – a lot. I love music, and dancing, but feel a bit disappointed with myself not to have invested in a good pair of speakers. I think that music cannot be listened to on a low volume! However, without speakers or even a TV, I usually persuade myself not to listen to music because of a lack of sound quality! Stupid, I know. I listen to what’s in the charts, plus a lot of Micheal Jackson, Whitney Houston, Bob Marley and Grace Jones.
Thanks for sharing! I don’t really use any speakers, just listen to music on my laptop. Could attach a little one, but it’s ok, especially if I dance late at night- although I live in a house, there are still people around 😉 Why didn’t we dance last weekend then 😉 ?!
I remember my last day of French class. I had not aced the exam–as my Chinese teacher made note of–but not being a Chinese man myself, I didn’t give a dilly-hoo about my test score. I was gaining confidence to talk to a French friend and was making progress by my own standard. As I walked home from that last class, I felt lighter and almost kind of buoyant, which I would have normally shunned and dismissed had I not suddenly realized what made me feel this way: I was proud of myself.
Now, being raised a Catholic, that’s not an easy thing for me to do, so I knew immediately it wasn’t just arrogant pride or something frivolous; this was something legit. This was something real, and thinking about it on the way home, instead of shaming that happy part of my conscience into silence, I let it sing and raise me up with its joyful noise! The entire walk back to my apartment, I let myself just feel good about accomplishing my goal and doing something that showed I cared about me.
If we dance in the dark or walk on imaginary clouds, it might just be that we deserve to do that sometimes. From one sometimes-totally-awesome person to another: dance!
Thanks, Ricky for your comments! Yeah, let’s dance and be joyful 😀
